As of 10/3/93, there were 81 SMUG members.  Over the last year, members
have been added and renewed thusly:
Oct. '92     3     Apr. '93     5
Nov. '92     9     May '93     1

As you can see, 50 members have joined, or renewed since the opening of
SMUGgler's BBS. 44 of these 50 are BBS users, and 14 of the 50 are
students. 62 of our 81 members have logged on to the BBS at least once,
which is impressive, but it also means that a whopping 25% of our
membership has not taken advantage of SMUG's new files library and its
most powerful means of communication.
As a full member of the Sequoia Macintosh Users' Group, you are
entitled to full use of SMUGgler's BBS. Some of the benefits are:
1) Macintosh Technical Support, andTips & Tricks Forums to increase
your productivity.
2) A wide range of current freeware, shareware, and online news and
periodicals.
3) Interaction both private and public with other SMUG members.
4) A link to a world-wide network of Mac users, the OneNet.
We would like all of our members to try this service at least once. In
order to try to convince you to do so, we are offering to loan you a
modem.  If you already have a modem, we will help you get it set up and
show you how to use the SMUGgler's BBS. We will also try to help with
any other questions or problems you may be having with your Mac and
it's attachments and software.
All you have to do is call me at 445-3454, and leave me a message
indicating that you would like to try the service. There will be
absolutely no obligation on your part. We'll come to your house, hook
up the equipment and show you how to get online. You can keep the 
modem for two weeks. If you don't like it, we'll come by and pick up
the modem, and will be happy just to have had you try SMUGgler's online
world. Won't you try it?  - Steve
