AGENDA

10:00  --- COFFEE

10:15  --- MULTITRACK MIDI  --- CH Ting
	Knowing Ting, it'll probably be Bach in Multitrack MIDI.    

NOON --- LUNCH
Some folks bring their lunch, some folks go to Togos.

13:30 --- INTRODUCTIONS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, RUMORS, RANDOM ACCESS

14:00 --- COOL STUFF AT THE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE --- Dave Jaffe
	Dave will describe some of the cool products that
	impressed him at the recent Embedded Systems Conference.

14:45 --- BREAK

15:00 --- MEETING VENUE 
	Cogswell suits me fine, but some might prefer TechShop and 
Ting has suggested Gospel Operation International in Burlingame.  
Nobody seems willing to discuss it on the SVFIG list, so we'll 
talk about it at the meeting.

15:30 --- THINK OF SOMETHING FOR NEXT MONTH 
     This means you!   

16:00 --- ADJORN

*** IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT GETTING INTO THE MEETING ***

     Cogswell in cooperation with DHS, ICE and BATFFCAPB* now 
secures its doors on weekends. There will be an SVFIG member 
stationed at the door from 10am to 10:15am to let in recognized 
attendees. If you are attending an SVFIG meeting for the first 
time, please bring along a printout of the agenda to identify 
your interest in Forth and gain admission. If you arrive after
10:15am, there will be a number for you to call to alert someone 
of your presence at the door. The front door will also be checked
at intervals of 20 to 30 minutes to accommodate those without 
cellphones.  Those attempting to signal with semaphore or Aldis 
Lamp will be barred from attending last month's meeting.

VERY IMPORTANT:
     Do not under any circumstances let any stranger past the Cogswell doors.
Those who are authorized to be inside have key-cards.
