Glad to see there is still life in the group, even more pleased to see 
someone else with RH7.3 and exstatic over someone else using old machines.

I know that a fraction are setting up the Lancaster group and wish them 
all the best if it means it is closer and more people get what they want 
from Linux.  Is it worth asking if anyone is interested in a type of 
Install day, Leyland next wednesday or Thursday.  That would be the 
25th/26th Sept.  I am not a guru, infact just a newbie and will ask lots 
of questions, so will need somebody to act in that role.

Anyway the chance is there.
