and as I once said about dodgy hardware under Linux:

"If you're not sure it works, wait for someone else to buy it and
prove it doesn't!"

Looks like you've quite the collection building up there!

Of course, the whole thing about these talks is I'll have to turn up
to listen to them :-/   Seem to keep having event clashes when socials
run on Wednesday or Saturday, or I just plain forget there's a LUG
meeting on the cards.  Perhaps it'd be possible to announce the
meeting schedule to the list, and send a reminder 24 hours before or
something??

( Not all of us have IRC or even remember to check the topic in #ylug ...... )

Would anyone interested in giving a talk have a problem with it being
recorded and distributed?
