to get a digicam working thru a pcmcia card, we went up to my place where the h/w was being located .. one thing led to another .. and saugata, a mani and sdg have a real life tour of pklabs1 and pklabs2 with all the kachra and idea skeletons .. some implementations .. and lots of tablet pc's shown too .. this is not a part of our 'meeting' .. hence the clarification also : the idea of using some tablet pc's to show : "> LTSP (1 server and P.K.'s tablet PCs as terminals)" is an idea .. which might get implemented if nobody finds fault with it .. the main server would be a desktop and tablet pc's .. low power 486dx2 thru higher power p1 133 mhz multimedia with 10.4" tft diagonal touch screens as terminals coule be used ..piikay ----- Original Message ----- From: "saugata ghosh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 10:15 AM Subject: Re: [ilug-cal] Minutes:-[ANNOUNCE] Compass meeting > Meeting held on 23rd Jan 2005 at Uditya > > Members present: > > 1.
