Patrick, May I add my welcome as the 'other' Kubuntu user (although I have been known to curse it from time to time, but I stick with it because when it works, I like it). Hope to see you at a meeting. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2016-07-05 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR

Prefer cycling to motoring. Hope to see you at a meet soon, now that you are home for the summer(?)
