I have no problem with people from morecambe coming; I do have some 
problems with it being a mac group as well.

The thing that is important to me about linux isn't just that it's not 
windows, or that it's good for geeking around on - it's the free 
software thing. I would say if it's going to include macs then why not 
make it lancaster and morecambe geek club and say anyone can come who 
likes messing about with computers. That might be ok, but then if that's 
what it's going to be we should talk about it properly I reckon, not 
just have a yes / no vote.
