Went hiking with some friends, attempted to jump a steep muddy ditch, did a Wile E. Coyote half-way across. Smashed the tops of my tibia and fibula, having surgery next week to pin all the pieces together again.

I sincerely appreciate you offering that box for the demo as it is definitely well-suited for the task. If we have one more volunteer, we at least have someone to take over if you get called out and the same person could make sure you get the machine back. You shouldn't need a monitor; as you know the CCCC office is well-equipped for this kind of demonstration. I do recommend you get there early to do a smoke-test. Thanks Ed! You are a great example of Linux advocacy. ===== John Hebert Official BRLUG Linux Curmudgeon Open Source Ankle Biter __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
