At first, the December meeting was sorta floundering. At the Nov. meeting, we have discussed doing a network and there we were last night with only one PC. Self networking to 127.0.0.1 is a letdown.
Then came some more people. Wayne Hardy brought his laptop. We were doing examples of telnet and ftp. One of the people asked a question about networking Linux and WIndows PCs and the subject of samba came up. One glitch: neither Wayne or I had Windows on out systems. Then came Malcom and Matt with a PC that had Linux and Windows. We got going with a three PC network, doing a bit of samba networking. Was very informal and great. Lots of discussions, interaction, etc. Much better than some dude lecturing all night while everybody else listens and dozes off.<g> Thank you to everybody who coame to the meeting last night. Now, how do work out things for next year. Stuff like scheduling the room and --the biggie-- getting the word out about the meetings so people know which night to come to the library. Jeff and everybody, this is a good time to roll forward. J.D. Abolins
