                   SUMMARY OF DECEMBER 1997 MEETING
      The previous meeting of the Northeastern Illinois ARC
      Technology Users' Group was held at the CHICAGO
      EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS CENTER on the
      afternoon of 16 December 1997.  Mr. Andrew Bieber of ESRI-
      Chicago showed a series of video tapes from ESRI's 1997
      annual conference.  The videos highlighted various topics
      concerning ESRI products, areas of applications, and future
      vision in an informal and fun "MTV"-style.  Mr. Peter Thum of
      GeoAnalytics gave his professional evaluation of each video
      subject.  Mr. Thum, as an ESRI beta site manager, affirmed
      the direction that ESRI is taking and used his real experiences
      to support his contentions.
