So I'll renew my call for IRUG newsletters. I have a bunch of WARUG issues I need get online... it's a bit of a shame they were forced out of DECUS and had to restart as IRUG since that cut over happened while i was at college and the material around the change went to a dead address 😞.
The R in the above is short for DEC Rainbow, of course.
