If you live near Portland, Oregon and enjoy PC-based multiplayer games 
you should consider joining the Portland Network Gamers Group.  We 
get together on the third weekend of each month to hook our computers into a 
local-area-network and play multiplayer games.  It is easy, inexpensive,
and a lot of fun.  Our only requirement is that people be at least 21 years 
old.

If you would like to know more about the group or would like to 
attend our next meeting on 20 January, send email to me at:

          cau...@teleport.com
