Hi folks.
Those of you who were at the February 8th MUUG meeting might recall my making a preliminary announcement about an upcoming presentation in Winnipeg on Solaris 10. Further details have since been forwarded to me, so I now pass it along to you. (This will be only two days after our next monthly meeting, so I thought I should give you all a "heads up" in case you want to register early.)
What was sent to me was a PDF attachment, but rather than forward that to all of you, I thought I'd just extract the relevant text and include it below... (You can get the pretty pictures from their web site, if you like.)

It's Here. Solaris 10.
Demanding businesses demand innovation that pays. Demanding businesses demand Sun.
There's never been an operating system like the new Solaris(TM) 10 Operating System. It doesn't just promise lower operating costs and better performance. It actually delivers them - and more.
YOU ARE INVITED!
Please join Sun Microsystems of Canada for a Solaris 10 Lunch & Learn, as we bring one of our key Corporate Senior Engineers from the Sun Kernel Development Group across the Canadian Prairies.
By attending this seminar you will learn about the benefits of the new Solaris 10 OS and how it can help you improve performance and make your operating environment more efficient and secure, while reducing complexity.
