Still waiting on my Ouya device to arrive too. Perhaps Ben has had more luck?

I had ordered a machine to work with free software a few months back, but apparently was still waiting on the parts after a series of delays (not ThinkPengiun though). When my current laptop started failing I had to cancel the order and just get something readily available. I'll bring in what I ended up with and talk about my experiences with it. -Adam signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Free-software-melb mailing list Free-software-melb@lists.softwarefreedom.com.au http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb Free Software Melbourne home page: http://www.freesoftware.asn.au/melb/

I had anticipated having a ThinkPenguin delivery before tonight's meeting, but it is currently at Customs (not yet being held, just normal processing AFAICT) so won't have that to talk about. My existing notebook computer is specifically built by ThinkPenguin to work with free software, and we can discuss that more generally too; it's not the new shiny though. Another topic of interest is the Software Freedom Day plans. I'm always prepared to ramble about software freedom news as I've done on Byte Into It, of course :-) -- \ “Free thought is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition | `\ for democracy.” —Carl Sagan | _o__) | Ben Finney ___ Free-software-melb mailing list Free-software-melb@lists.softwarefreedom.com.au http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb Free Software Melbourne home page: http://www.freesoftware.asn.au/melb/
