    Amiga Tech Group, January 9 -- "A Modula-2 Programming Environment for
    the Amiga," by Prof. Abbas Birjandi of Northeastern University.  Also,
    discussion of startup sequence files and resident programs.  Some
    technical expertise is assumed, but meetings are open to all. 
    
    Amiga Users Group, January 17 -- "MediaPhile, a media production
    database," by James D. Rickman of Interactive Microsystems, Inc.
    
    Directions:  (More complete in older announcements)  From Storrow
    Drive, exit at 'Kendall Sq - Cambridge' exit.  Cross the Longfellow
    Bridge, go a few blocks.  Turn right at the first light, then left to
    park behind DoT.  Approach from the Boston side as Cambridge streets in
    the area are tricky.  Or take the Red Line from Alewife to the
    'MIT-Kendall' station.  Go around the Marriott Hotel and cross Broadway
    to the DoT. 
    
    BCS Amiga Users Group meetings are held the third Tuesday of each
    month; Tech Group meetings the first Monday, all at DoT.

        
    Also of interest:

    Siggraph New England, Wednesday, January 4, 7 PM -- "Currents in
    Computer Animation," a festival of state-of-the-art computer-assisted
    animation.  Including "Beat Dedication," and the complete version of
    Pixar's "Tin Toy."  Held at Newman Auditorium, BB&N, 70 Fawcett St,
    Cambridge.  Directions:  from Fresh Pond Circle (look for Ground Round
    restaurant), head west on Concord Ave.  Turn right one block past
    BayBank on Fawcett St. 

    South Metro Amiga Users Group (SMAUG), Tuesday, January 27, 7 PM --
    Commodore hardware engineer Dave Haynie, designer of the American
    version of the 2000, and the 2620 accelerator card (with 68020) is
    scheduled to appear. He will be bringing the A2500 with Unix and
    perhaps some other future Commodore hardware goodies.  Held this month
    only at the Elks Club, Elks Way, Norwood. 

    Directions to SMAUG:  from Rte. 128 south, go south on Rte. 1 about 3
    miles to the second set of lights in Norwood.  Turn right onto Dean St,
    follow to end.  Turn right on Washington St.  Past the crest of a hill,
    turn left onto Walnut St, then take the first left onto Elks Way. (No,
    I haven't been there - the Norwood PD gave these directions.)  For more
    information call the IDCMP BBS, (617) 769-3172, 24 hour operation.

    Oops... Fixed up SMAUG announcement follows.
