Re: [Scottish] May 2003 ScotLUG Meeting
Sounds like a design fault then, and I'll do my best to get my money back. The thing can't even sit on a flat surface without eventually overheating and cutting out.

[Scottish] Tonight...
Hi Everyone, In the absence of anything better to do (drinking apparently isn't seen as productive enough), I've russled up an all-new collection of Linux related quiz questions for tonight's meeting. The previous Quiz night, in December 2002 was a good laugh, but, it takes more than just me to make it successful... We're not offering much in the way of a prize, but, look at what thinker, mquin and jriddell have gone onto achieve since winning it last time... Of course, next month we're gonna be watching Revolution OS...woohoo Kevin ___ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
