Hey guys,
The CACRC is planning on having a teacher training on March 21st at ITI
college from 8:30 - 4:00. This is a one day training class for CLK teachers
from around Louisiana. These teachers teach computer classes at high
schools, and vocational schools across the state. Many have different levels
of experience. I would love to introduce them to Linux. I am particularly
interested in presenting Linux as thin clients, but I don't want it to be
limited to that. Many of the teachers are very interested in learning more,
and I would also like them to get a little hands-on experience. We can
provide the necessary equipment, but I am not very knowledgable. Is there
anyone interested in presenting for about an hour? I can give you more or
less time if needed, and I can reserve a block for you at anytime during the
day. Let me know if you are interested.
On a side note, I know some people that are interested in joining the
list serve. Do they need an invitation with username and password before
they join? I simply can't remember how I joined, I must have slept since
then. They are excited to find a Louisiana based LUG and want to get signed
up, so any info on that would be appreciated as well. Thanks.

From what I remember, Ridley Scott (the director of Blade Runner) just
liked the name of the William S Burroughs book. It didn't have anything
to do with the book. A few years ago, some PKD disciple wrote a sequel
to do andrioids dream of electric sheep, called it Blade Runner 2, and
tried to reconcile the move and the book. The reason given for the
name: it was German for something like "robot killer," and it got
americanized into blade runner.
I didn't know they ever actually made a movie from the WSB book, Thanks
for the info.

For those that don't know. CanIT is the commercial brother of Mimedefang,
with a few more features and a pretty admin interface thrown in. I
haven't used it extensively, but know it's pretty sweet. Especially if
you're not much of a perl programmer and can't grok mimedefang...

Hi,
I hope you don't consider this an abuse of the MIMEDefang list, but...
We're announcing that small organizations (those with up to 50 e-mail
addresses), can use CanIt for free. Note that CanIt is still commercial
software; it's not open-source. But it's "free-as-in-beer" for small
organizations.
The press release is here:
http://www.linuxpr.com/releases/7628.html
The Free CanIt page is here:

The Free CanIt sign-up form is here:

Regards,
David.
