[Herts] Herts Digest, Vol 237, Issue 1

[Andy Biegala]

Hi All

Just to say I am still a member of this club, even though I have not 
been able to show up for so many months.

Regrettably I cannot make it again tonight but don't want to let another 
month go by without apologising for my absence. I am not in jail, just a 
prisoner of work, weather and the vagaries of the internal combustion 
engine.

Best regards

Andy Biegala

(I'm the one with the old toshiba and the EEEPC 701 with Ubuntu!)
