Brief Notes
Early next week, key Alpha personnel will meet to develop an outline for presenters. Check for the Alpha Presenter Outline in a week or so.
If you are looking for a user group, or would like to start one, visit the Alpha User Group site for more information.
If you're in the UK and are interested in training courses, please e-mail Richard@alphasoftware.com.
In the last issue (Oct - #8), we had an article about a possible support option by LiveRepair.com. We also had a survey to find out if you were interested. However, due to an underwhelming response, Alpha will not be pursuing the option at this time.
There is a new patch available for Version 5. This patch not only fixes some bugs, but also offers some neat new features. Go to http://downloads.alphasoftware.com/patches/patch1339_1019.exe to download and get more info.
