The Sacramento Valley SAS Users Group was disbanded in the fall of 2013.
The group's domain
name, www.svsug.org, expired in Oct. 2013. Since then, the domain name
has been purchased by a Japanese company. Material currently posted
under that domain has nothing to do with the SVSUG, and is not connected
in any way with anyone associated with SVSUG.
