That's a good idea.

Phil,

You'll be very welcome with laptop & disk(s) to try some installs at the
next meet.

We have our foodie meet Wed next week.

I guess this is a good excuse for trying out the food at The Nav or The
Roebuck for food, beer, tables and power sockets! WiFi included... Mmmm,
I think that means The Nav for preference. Is Roebuck WiFi free or fee
paying?


Cheers,
Martin
