So I finally got off my duff and wrote up some more info for the slides from 2 meetings ago. Now with a special slide 6! Anyhow, Check this out (be it a little late) it might help. I am looking for critism. http://spr.mahonri5.net/ugg/1.html This is cross posted between our two lists so everyone can give me feedback. And to encourage action from the ranks of the UUG concerning making info for newbies in like for the next "Don't Fear the Penguin" meeting. -- Scott Paul Robertson http://spr.mahonri5.net GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601
