Wed Jun 24 11:00:12 UTC 2015

Hi Jullian, I have had my eye operation and it is going fine. Please 
give my regards to the Guys, I hope you have a great meeting. If you 
have any notes etc that you think will assist me i would be most 
obligedl. Very much hope to see you next meeting. I noticed that E 
Buyer.com have some  good desk top deals at the moment with up to £100 
trade on some every day models, may be of interest to some members, see 
you soon, Best wishes John.
