Hello, and thanks for the kind welcome! I'm glad to finally be a paid member of CLUG, and hope that I can pitch in somehow in the future. The benefits are not so bad either ;O)
The installfest was very interesting -- nice to see so many people in one place doing Linux-stuff. And the venue couldn't be better! I think I'm a big fan of VFXWeb.com now that I realize the variety of product they have with awesome prices! Thanks again for the warm welcome, and I look forward to seeing you all at the next meetings -- perhaps I'll even join in on the Programming SIG a few times :O) Cheers, Brad On Sun, Aug 08, 2004 at 12:00:59PM -0600, Dave Bourassa wrote: > Jesse Kline wrote: > > >As many of you know, we had our installfest today, and I think it was a > >great success!
