FIVE YEARS??!
And that's for a user group *in* the United States. I wonder how long we would get the attention considering we are more than 8000 miles away from the US. Not to mention that on top of the mindshare web site, there is following text: 'Mindshare is Microsoft's program to support PC User Groups in the United States and help build their enthusiasm about Microsoft technology.'

Well, it doesn't matter. I'll consider that as a bonus. I am pretty sure that the user group itself will be a benefit - although without the 'freebies' things from microsoft.

I am working on starting the user group now. Hopefully, I can manage the first meeting in the next three or four months. I wish it can be sooner, but I really have no experiences and have to consider a lot of things. Wish me luck everybody!
