Thanks for replying, Matt. Sure enough, Gmail didn't copy my message
back, so it was good to know it got there. I'll try and make the next
meeting to say hello to everyone. 

Yes, it's amazing how much software there is to choose from - and how
good it is. One of the things that most impressed me was the repository
system - it makes updating and installing new software a piece of cake.
