Readers in the greater Boston area might be interested in hearing
about New England SIGCHI, a new local chapter of the ACM Special
Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction.

The first two meetings have drawn 40-60 people, representing a wide

Mall), Burlington, MA.  Informal holiday meeting including
organizational issues and demonstrations by DEC's Educational Services
R&D Group.
