Hi Les

Missed you at the lecture this evening brill talk by RS he pulls no 
punches when it comes to FREE software and the dangers of a closed 
digital society.

On the ISO burning front I've got the bit of tec I ordered of e-bay to 
turn any IDE or SATA drive into an external USB drive, and it worked out 
of the box so I'll bring it and a DVDRW drive in with the kit for U 
Cubed on the 2nd April.
