Errm, I think there's a bit of confusion here.

Richard Fraser has been runing Avalon Arts in Abbey Mews for aboout a year 
now.  (Many people will remember him from his Visionscape days.) 
He does digital art; not digital repairs.

The *new* PC shop is directly opposite his in the mews, and will open at 
the end of this month.
It's called PC's PCs [Peter? Christian?'s PCs]; and the guy behind it can 
be contacted on either 0900 781-7529  or  07976 58-4231
I hope he will be attending our meeting next week, as I've already 
contacted him offering LUGoG support for any of his clients who might be
interested in Linux.


[Which reminds me -- what's our agenda for next week?  I'd like to spend 
a little time possibly setting up a consultancy group for stuff like the 
above; arranging common fees scales; etc.  Any comments?
And isn't it about time we had an update on the music scene?  Tim?]

Sounds like a dual-boot system, where Windows *will* insist on correcting 
Unix time for you. 
Tell windows it works on GMT only; and *don't* allow it to make 
adjustments for daylight saving time.
