(Sorry for the long delay.  My ISP went AWOL for about a week.)

Anyway, I think the group would encompass a range of activities, from
hacking to general Unix education for PC users.  But I'd primarily like to
see the FreeBSD user base expanded as well as set up local support for
current users.  FreeBSD is the best secret in the free Unix community, and
it's about time to let the cat out of the bag.
