It is both encouraging and disappointing that only four people have registered for this thursday's fixit.
encouraging because some might now assume that apart from those four people everyone else has a system they are happy with and that they fully understand and are comfortable with. disappointing because that probably isn't true, yet for some reason people don't want their experiences improved on. Newbies if you are here on the list and you simply want some one on one assistance getting to know your system or whatever, then feel free to come along. To repeat the instructions: > The meeting is THIS THURSDAY > 22 July at 7.30 pm at the Sydenham Community Centre in Hutcheson Street > Christchurch. There is a map here http://canterbury.lug.net.nz/map.jpg. > > Numbers may be linited.
