[dundee] Socialising++

[Paul Mitchell]

Guys: Thoroughly agree with the sentiments; damned interesting cross section
of people and the discussion was way more than computing. First time we meet
and I am being offered access to Mandrake and Xandros (hope I spelled that
korrect) and a whole load of advice on how Linux behaves, operates etc. Not
sure if I fully understand the way Linux reads off the disk yet but I am
willing to learn. The scary bit for me is that I know so little...

Count me in for future meetings - if there are any of you who live north of
Dundee and need a lift (I'll be coming in from Forfar) drop me a mail.

Paul

ps Mark - you sent this at 04:03!
