I would have to agree with you the meeting have been leaning towards a
more social gathering of like minded fellows, rather then a gathering to
help each other.

I for one would like to see some interesting things to do with desktop
setup and software usage of a more graphical nature.

Although I cant really afford a cheap laptop at the moment I would like
to get one in a few months time to have a play on at the lug meetings
and also as a have it used for demonstration.
