			BIG BLUE'S SECRET SOCIETY

     Digital Review's top-secret source (known to us only as Norm D. Ploom)
recently informed us of a secret society in Boca Raton, Florida, where at least
12 IBMers have formed an informal DEC user group.
    Unlike normal user organizations that have trouble stimulating information 
flow, the IBM DEC organizations's biggest problem is inhibiting flow - primarily
word of its existence.  The members meet informally, have no membership list
and do not produce a newsletter.  Most of their DEC systems are purchased by
family members.  
     When asked to describe the group, a member who wished to remain anonymous
said, "I don't want to talk about it."
