On March 30, 1999, ESILUG took a LUG Boat
Potomac River cruise on
the Dandy.
Compaq sponsored the event as a customer appreciation gesture.
Nearly 150 people participated.
The speakers were:
- Terry Shannon, Compaq Strategic Directions (presentation available)
- Paul Lambert, Preview of DECUS '99/Providence
- John Loether, Preview of Upcoming Compaq Technology

But let's not forget that the cruise started with a song from
Mike Reeher.
Here are the lyrics, sung to the tune of The Love Boat
theme:
LUGs, exciting for you.
Come aboard, and join DECUS too!
LUGs, we work with Compaq.
If you need help, we will take a whack!
The LUG Boat: practical info is what's in store!
The LUG Boat: VMS, Unix, NT and more!
Hear the experts who speak or just hang out with geeks a while.
LUGs, they're DECUS near you.
They're a link to Compaq too.
Join a LUG! a LUG!
Join a LUG! a LUG!!!
