NYCDAUG, the New York City Digital Assistant Users' Group is pleased to announce the merger and incorporation of the NYCPPC, the New York City Pocket PC Users Group into our PDA-centric user group family.

The merging of our two groups will help strengthen the Pocket PC platform's presence within NYCDAUG and will extend NYCDAUG's benefits to the existing New York City Pocket PC Users Group members. One larger, stronger group is better for everyone.

Sam Wagner, New York City Pocket PC Users Group's President will immediately become
Moderator of the NYCDAUG Pocket PC Yahoo Group and will help formulate the expansion and redesign of the Pocket PC support pages on the NYCDAUG site.

In addition, our monthly meetings, will now ALTERNATE between OS Platforms.

Starting in March, NYCDAUG will hold a bimonthly meeting for the Pocket PC OS PDAs and only
for the Pocket PC OS. This has been done to ensure this new expanded Pocket PC sub-group gets the meeting time they desire. Sam will help drive the Pocket PC meeting content as well as other volunteers within this sub-group.

In April, we will have our monthly meeting focusing on Palm OS PDAs and as time and member interest allows, some coverage of Sharp Linux and/or other PDA devices as well. However, this meeting will continue to cover mostly Palm OS presentations and issues as we have done in the past. In May, we will continue this cycle alternating between these two major platforms. However, ALL NYCDAUG members are welcome to come to ALL meetings.

The benefits to all NYCDAUG members are that this alternating monthly schedule should help our members focus more on their particular platform interests as well as letting any member who wishes to come to a monthly meeting be exposed to even more in depth coverage of that particular OS. Everyone's interest should be taken care of even better this way while our multiple email lists and Yahoo Groups should satiate the daily "techno fix" we all need irrespective of the platform.

Please keep in mind this is not a move away from the Palm OS on any level. This is to place NYCDAUG in the strongest position possible for all PDA platforms, helping us to live up to our slogan that we are "the PDA-centric User Group for all of you".
