Hi,

Can I just turn up for this talk or do places need to be booked?  Is it
likely to be a sell-out!!!

Yeah, I nearly didn't approve that msg.

sod 
those modem lusers that have to pay for their downloaded mail, that'll teach

them to move to a broadband-enabled neighbourhood"

Did we want to organise a trip to this event?

It is a ScotLUG night - so maybe some cars travel down to see him in
the afternoon.

End up at ScotLUG and then pub afterwards? 

Anyone interested? 

Andrew

Yeah, that'll learn them!

However, is anyone else worried that our list admin seems to receive the 
digest form of the mailing list? ;).

Willie can prove it isn't true (and, at the same time, prove himself as 
an ever-helpful list-admin) by replying to this before the digest comes 
out! No forwarding him this mail now people :).

Thanks,

Allan

Yes, no, maybe. Err, I dunno.

I got confused. I don't think I'm confused anymore but then misguided 
confused people seldom do.

Apologies and stuff.

Thanks,
