[TynesideLUG] Finally figured out my VM issue!

[Derek Frost]

Hi All,

HP laptops I've had in the past have all suffered from broken main hinges so I avoid them too.

You're not on Facebook Cassie, so just to let you know I'm hoping to open a physical LUG next month (7th May). We have a direct email address to confirm that there is a room available. I'm planning to check a week or so before hand, in case they forget.

Regards, Derek.
