<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I am one of those lurkers who still stay connected but haven't dropped by on a Thursday for quite a few years.</p>
<p>I am well retired and still live in Chilwell. Once someone from the group helped me with my little Korean Samsung NC110 to load Mint onto it when I was having trouble getting past the fast boot option. I appreciated that help very much. </p>
<p>Otherwise, as you say, I guess, most of my very simple problems get sorted in the Mint forums. My level of knowledge and use of Linux is very elementary. I don't run Linux systems or program or anything sophisticated like that.
<br>
</p>
<p>I have just bought a new Think Penguin T4 laptop, ordered in from the US, which came in just 3½ days! Great piece of kit for a lowly user like me. I am just getting used to it.</p>

<div>As I now live in Glasgow, I am not going to be of much use!<br>
I know a few of the other regulars have also moved away for one reason or another.<br>
<br>
Martin (Lomas) should still be around. If there is interest in a meet, I am sure that he can arrange something.</div>
<div>Or arrange a time and date between yourselves. Other than any talk that happened to be on, they were pretty informal.</div>

Hi Graham,<br>
<br>
This list (as you have likely noticed by now) is very quiet these days. <br>
Months can often go by without any messages. Look at the archives and <br>
you will see what I mean: <a href="https://mailman.lug.org.uk/pipermail/nottingham/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">
https://mailman.lug.org.uk/pipermail/nottingham/</a><br>
<br>
I don't even know if the Nottingham group is still actively meeting in <br>
person or not. I suspect not, because in the past, such meetups were <br>
typically arranged on this list.<br>
<br>
I left Nottingham myself years ago (although I visit once every year or <br>
two), but I have remained in this list for some reason.<br>
<br>
In some ways it's sad that many LUGs seem to have died out somewhat, but <br>
in other ways, it's a symptom of the success of Linux.<br>
<br>
Martin.<br>
