I once had a talk in a newsroom with a Linux hacker who was far into his
seventies, but you couldn't tell from his comments and knowledge. You can
never tell these days...
Maybe Jurassic Park is a special distro for the elderly??? :)

I live in Perth as well, there is at least one other guy around here somewhere.
We have not had any meetings in Perth, but I see no reason there couldn't be.
Major problem of late has been that we cannot get a classroom at Abertay Uni
any more (where we can use an overhead projector etc.).

Lets see if Lee can come up with. I think some organisations have been using
a room at the AK Bell library here, but am not sure if they charge for that
(would expect not).

Off course we should always be able to squeeze in a pub meet!
