NHMUG is pleased to announce our 21st annual NH/VT iSeries User Group Meeting in West Lebanon, NH. This free one-day event is sponsored by both the NHMUG and VTMUG user groups.

IBM's Steve Fier will review the latest 4/28 IBM announcements including faster processors, solid-state disk and DB2 Web Query enhancements.

Since many of you have questions about storage for your iSeries and other servers, IBM's Dave Taylor will offer a "Storage 101" overview of NAS, SAN and tape.

All iSeries customers welcome!
