An IRIS Performer class will be taught on Wednesday, Jan 19th at the
SGI Expo East near Washington, DC. The class will be taught by David
Marsland, a course developer from SGI Technical Education. The SGI Expo
is being sponsored by PCI, and all inquiries and registration should go
to PCI at 1-800-727-EXPO.

Look for a course offered through SGI Technical Education in mid-94.

Here's some more information:
