===Notes on Driving to Microsoft in Burlington===
Microsoft is at the 5 Wayside Rd building.  Here are some suggestions from a group member (thanks MK)

When I put "5 Wayside Rd, Burlington" into mapquest.com on my computer, I
get a very accurate route showing the turn-off into the building's driveway,
etc.

However, when I enter that address into the Waze app on my phone, it takes
me *past* the driveway to a long stretch of no-driveway sidewalk alongside
the shopping mall across the street--very confusing!

Thus, I recommend some explanation on the BNUG site that gives the reader:
  * The suggestion to try "7 Wayside Rd" in one's GPS app,
  * some idea what to look for regarding finding the building's driveway (it's across the street from the mall)
  * After entering the driveway you come up to a fork, go Right and drive *around* the building to get to the appropriate parking lot, since some of us keep our eyes on street level and may not notice the "Microsoft" sign many stories up, :)
  * and that after signing in at the receptionist, they will direct you to the meeting room.
