   THE NATIONAL AUG EXPOSED. 
 
As you are no doubt well aware some suggestions, hints, and proposals fALLRIGHT HARRY! LISTEN UP!  By Dave Sands. 
   Special to the ADAM News Network from its correspondent in the frozen North.
   There's been discussion on the BBS's and in the ANN and in the newsletters that serve the ADAM community recently about a National ADAM User Group. This group would unite all ADAM User Group members into one massive, mighty power bloc that would get us great software, an ADAM Model Two with a 80586 chip, and our own column in Byte magazine.
   But there are some problems, one of which was identified by one of the ADAM community's foremost thinkers, Hard Nosed Harry. HNH, as those who love him and abbreviations call him, is concerned about what the National AUG would do with all the Canadians.!
   Right, the same week that Ferguson Jenkins doesn't make it into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, HNH is worried about CANADIAN ADAMites. Ferguson had the missfortune to play the Great American Game on a bunch of teams that had that one crippling deficiency that dooms pennant hopes: their Puerto Ricans couldn't hit the other guys stuff. ( Cooperstown as every Canadian boy knows, is where Cooper hockey equipment comes from. And every Canadian boy learns never to forget his essential Cooper equipment: if you think a "brush back" pitch is tough stuff, try facing a hockey puck without a cup.)
   That's just a little Canadian humor, as Dave Barry would say.
   What about Harry's concerns ?  Can we really form a National ADAM User Group without dividing up the Canadians. Not really, and for one tiny little reason. Every Canadian, and I say this as one, so obviously I am an expert on what everyone of them thinks, (I think like you, Harry, thought I'd warn you ) EVERY Canadian will join a NATIONAL ADAM User Group immediately --- how ?  simple, simple, simple.
   Just make the Metro Orlando ADAM User Group the NATIONAL AUG and we'll all be there!
   With our snowshoes, Harry, and our parkas (Harry, a parka is a big, downfilled coat with a fur lined hood that covers your average Canadian from his feet to his crown about ten months of the year. Goes a long way toward explaining why there's so few Canadians -- can't tell the girls from the polar bears and that's seriously inhibiting.) And its tough, Harry, keyboarding in these damn mittens. Orlando, hire a stadium for the next MOAUG meeting, and clean out the spare bedroom, and we'll need the backyard for our dog teams. 
   Harry, I hope you see that all your problems have been solved.  Just worry about the easy stuff now, like -- if there's a National ADAM Users Group, who are you picking for the Stanley Cup, Philadelphia or the Islanders versus Edmonton ? 
 will join a NATIONAL ADAM User Group immediately -
