Being  one of the 30ish people on the mailing list I feel I should 
explain why I at least am rarely, if ever, at the SLUG meetings.
I'm now a student in Cardiff - and have been since September which was 
just after my first Toby Jug meet. Due to a lack of time I've not been 
getting round to fixing up a linux box for IRC either. I've finaly got 
a beutifuly working powerbook though, so I can spend somemore time 
trying to make my Linux box do what I want. I'm heading up to 'borough 
in the next month so hopefully  should be at a meeting. Depending if i 
can find a veichle - I'm looking for an old ford escort van (£200ish) 
if anyone knows of one...- I may just get my box up there too!

Cheers
