  Open To The Public - Bring Friends (and Fiction)
 
  "Unconstrianed by reality, Science Fiction provides us rich and
  varied glimpses of imaginative human-machine interfaces.  Whether
  driven by visions of future technology or prompted purely by whimsey,
  Science Fiction writers have engaged us for years with beguiling
  images of what might be."  
  - Roz Hoffman, June '88 GB/SIGCHI newsletter
 
  So began the meeting announcement for our June '88 GB/SIGCHI Meeting. 
  That meeting was so successful that we have decided to repeat it
  for this month's meeting. 
 
  Attendees will share their favorite passages with us.  Also, we will
  provide a glimpse at what Hollywood thinks the future (and sometimes
  the present) is for computer-human interaction.  And there will be
  other surprises.
 
  We would like to encourage everyone (even the oratory-phobic) to bring
  their favorite fictional UI, but it is not required for admission.
 
  For directions to Sun, please call Jared M. Spool at 508-470-1213.
