I'd be interested in hearing more from the Pencom people (and perhaps
others with opinions) as to who they are and what their company does.

Pencom is the driving force behind a national AIX users group which
held its founding meetings in several cities last month.  At the Boston
meeting, my skepticism about a profit motive seemed to have been
unfounded; the whole organization came across as legit, and is
legitimately looking for people to serve on its board and help run
the operation as a non-profit corporation.  Pencom's advance publicity
paid off:  about 100 people showed up for the meeting.

But if Pencom is in fact somehow not playing above-board, then I'd
like to know too.  Clearly the company has a vested interest in the
success of AIX.
