Right after sending that it occurred to me that the Clinic page should also mention how long we have been holding the Clinics. If I recall correctly they were at Riverdale School for ten years, then, after a hiatus for a few months, at Free Geek. I don't know when they started, but I bet there is someone here who has the start date. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
