What's New ?

16/3/05 Well, I guess any "regular visitors" have noticed that nothing has been really updated on this site for quite a while now... basically because I have just not had the time to do it, for which I apologise.

But the SIG is still alive and well, with a growing number of members spread all over the world.

I hope to be able to find time in the not-too-distant future to start updating some sections again, but pressure of work will dictate just when I will be able to get onto this.

But for now however, I have updated our SIG Display Calendar for 2005. More updates will follow, as I said, when I get time. Apologies again and thanks for looking in !
