AAUG announce it's "business as usual" for the user groups

[Neil Spellings]

Following the recent announcement from Acorn, the AAUG would like to
make it clear that as far as the Acorn user group and enthusiast
community is concerned, although this news comes as a shock to us all,
it's still "business as usual".

- User groups will continue to meet - we've got even more to talk about
now!
Not one user group meeting has been cancelled. Full details of meeting
dates and locations can be found on the AAUG website. Why not come along
and voice your opinion on whats happening.

- User groups will continue to provide the help and support to the many
thousands of existing Acorn users around the world.
With the withdrawal of Acorn from the desktop market, the help and
support these groups offer had just become increasingly invaluable.

- The AAUG will continue to support and promote these groups, and their
members.
- The AAUG will still be attending the other organised Acorn shows
- The AAUG will continue to support Acorn User and the other Acorn
related press

We are confident that RISC OS and Acorn technology will survive, in
whatever form, and that existing Acorn users will _not_ be forced into
the Wintel camp.

They may be able to kill off a computer, but they can't kill off several
thousand enthusiasts!
