And some good discussions and good food was had, even if the food was a
little slow to arrive. (Hope you caught your bus ok those folks!)


Briefly, some of the discussion points:

British TV is vastly better than American TV;

Dungeons & Dragons still lives, yeah!;

We should try an NLUG online games evening, possibly to be hosted by a
certain person with excess bandwidth (details to be decided, not a
Thursday!);

Party time tonight (later today Thursday 08/05/2008), details to be posted;

Geekie developers are lost in their own development interests and have
lost touch with general users, none are interested or they do not have
the skills to produce good and intuitive GUIs, or there is too much
aping of Microsoft (and/or others);


And lots of other bits no doubt.


Next is an install-it/fix-it evening at the Nav Thursday 22/05/2008.
Bring whatever system for help for installing or fixing whatever Linux.
Or bring along whatever to demonstrate whatever 'interesting'. Or just
come along for the show!

Cheers All,
Martin


GUI: Graphical user interface

ps: Have GUIs advanced at all since before the 1980's?!
