ALTHOUGH its plans to highlight a range of vendor's Microsoft-related products may not have materialised, the Hong Kong Microsoft Users Group (HKMUG) still wants to take advantage of this week's expo with its own pavilion.
According to Anthony Au, the chairman of HKMUG, the group plans to use the event to highlight its emerging network, to provide an opportunity for existing members to use it, and for potential new members to take a look at what HKMUG has to offer.
'What we will be having is a display of our users' group network, and showing what our various activities have been over the past few months,' Mr Au said. 'The focal point will be our own network.' At present, the HKMUG network provides electronic-mail facilities so that members can communicate amongst themselves as well as offering Internet connectivity for mail to and from the rapidly-growing world-wide network of computer systems.
Opportunities will be provided during the expo for users to try the system.
'We will have a telephone line in the pavilion, and members will be able to use it,' Mr Au said, adding that many members had not yet decided to take advantage of the network.
In addition, HKMUG plans to set up a conference room and to hold meetings of some of its special interest users groups. Particularly, Mr Au expects that the FoxPro and Windows special interest groups will meet during the show.
