Nice offer.

Don't drink coffee (or tea) do you have juice?  :-) Only joking but
I'd better bring my own drink if you're not close to a pub.

Please post the Post Code.  I'll need a map to the car park.

You mean you haven't work that out from my comments already ;-)

Doesn't it.

We could always bring our own.  I know most offices have a no
drink polcy - but what's the worst they could do; fire us.  As 
I don't work there this isn't much of a threat.  Guess Nik would
be the only one who couldn't drink :-)  [Ahhh, I see from a later
post that there is no restriction on beer]

Joking aside I think a quite room is much better and the Jug
doesn't offer that.

Sun LINUX 5.0?  What happened to the other 4?

I know what happened to the other 4. The same think that happened
to Solaris 2.7, 2.8, ..., 3.x, 4.x, 5.x & 6.x.  Sun marketers 
looked at the number, saw that it was lower than Win 95, Win2K and
NT 4.0 and said "We need a higher number; that way we'll sell more
software as it will look more stable."

Didn't anyone explain to them that Unix IS MORE STABLE!!!!!  That
the most of the management in those areas know this.  Is there 
anyone on this list that thinks this way.  If so turn up at the 
meeting; I'll bring the gun :-)
