Am so pleased to be able to make a constructive contribution to the 
group - for a change.

Sorry but speaking personally, the technical stuff is about as clear as 
mud. These MIT courses are thoroughly recommendable, so have no 
hesitation in saying "go for it" - and better still, under the open 
concept there is no (financial) cost!

It's already 2011 in the lands of sun and summer. Best wishes for the 
new year to everyone in (Greater) London's Linux community!
