[members at lugog] computer / computing magazines

[David Bourne]

Hello Martin and to you all at lugog,

I'm a recent long distance member of lugog, and also a member of Wrexham 
LUG.

In an attempt to finally persuade him to embrace Linux, I have a friend 
in Oxenpill, Meare, whom I have emailed with the 'Goodies' details, but, 
as I've not had a reply, nor managed to get him on the 'phone, I think 
that he may be on holiday. I'm sure that he would appreciate some if not 
all of your 'stuff'.

I will 'phone him again this evening.

Best regards,

David Bourne.
