The beauty of (and problem with) is that we don't have many fast / 
direct roads across the county -- mountains in the way? Long may it 
remain so!

Agreed. We shall have to go for local meets. Perhaps we could draw up a 
table of members / localities / experience / interests and take it from 
there.

For a start, I live on the south side of Kendal, am not a professional 
IT guy, but have been using PCs since the IBM/PC XT and Linux for 
something like 5 years. I use Linux for standard office apps, internet, 
TV/Radio, CD playing and burning, Image manipulation, programme 
development (using 'C').
