>> Hello all, 
>> 
>> Would I be correct in assuming that the next meeting is on the 16th of
>> April? At the last meeting at the Canal Road Day Centre, one of the
>> ladies mentioned that our regular room/meeting space was booked by
>> another group (Green Party/FoE? - I forget). Are we
>> rescheduling/relocating?
>> 
>> I (still) have, and would love dearly to find a new home for, the
>> following which might be of use/interest to somebody:
>> 
>> 1) A removals box ful of general computing and Linux magazines that I
>> scrounged off Julian about two, posibly three, years ago, with the
>> intent off going through them and absorbing whatever was of interest.
>> unfortunately, that never happened! Still, is there someone there who
>> would like to have a look at them. Otherwise I'll hand them over to the
>> toilet paper manufacturers.
>> 
>> 
>> 2) An HP NetServer LC3 PII/350. It was working when replaced two years
>> ago by my old boss for a newer unit, and is complete apart from the
>> three removable SCSI drives (I had to return those for destruction,
>> sensitive company data etc, even though I promised to zero-fill them for
>> him.)
>> 
>> I grabbed it because it seemed like a nice big housing for a workstation
>> with multiple drives, but time prevents me from dedicating myself to
>> this project.
>> 
>> 3) I still have three Linux books, hardly used.
>> 
>> - Linux in a Nutshell - A Desktop Quick Reference, 4th Edition; publ. by
>> O'Reilly
>> 
>> - Running Linux - The Essential Guide to Linux, 4th Edition; publ. by
>> O'Reilly
>> 
>> - RUTE - Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition, by Paul Sheer, complete
>> with CD which has the whole boook on it in elec. format.
>> 
>> They'd be of more use to sysadmins and people who would like to study
>> Linux a bit more seriously than I have the time for. Ideal for anybody
>> who spends a lot of time working on Linux offline. The only thing I
>> actually remember using them for was to get a better understanding of
>> PATH/CLASSPATH, back in the day when I had problems getting Java to
>> work.
>> 
>> The mags and the server are FOC, but I'd like a fiver each for the
>> books, tenner for the whole lot, made out to St. Michaels Hospice or
>> A.N. Other charity. Otherwise I'll have to eBay them at 0.99 starting
>> price. They're too good to skip.
>> 
>> I look forward to receiving a torrent of emails!!!
>> 
>> Regards
>> Ralph
