[Watford] march?

[Jonathan Dibble]

Steve,  
I think your offer is a good one and I'm up for it, some weekends I am
away etc, but if you have any suggestions let's try and fix a date when
we can all descend on your property?

Someone offered a mythTV demo?  That sounds fascinating since all I have
ever read about that is that it's nearly impossibly difficult!

As far as advertising is concerned, I think anyone already interested in
Linux would be able to find us, I believe we need to encourage more
interest in Linux in general which in turn would lead to more interest
in the group.

Cheers,
JOn.
