And the trouble is Encarta needs to be updated regularly. They should do
something with/like Wikipedia. Write a data connection to download Wikipedia

workers with some/all of the following skills to work with a growing IT
firm:
- Web based development using HeiTML/PHP (HeiTML infinitely preferred)
- Database developers (MySQL PostgreSQL) (experience in Redis
You yawn easily.
50? I hope 50 is not the number of kiosks. I have seen these Kiosks and know
each one is just a pc in a large case.

I do not yawn easily :)

I recently revived my user group and found greater success getting new blood
(recent grads and campusers) to show up in large numbers. Maybe you guys
need to revise the advertising strategy.
Can we have a quick rollcall for who would be interested in a LUG meeting?
Please indicate here and suggest
I would also attend.
The third Friday of every month was always the tradition but anything works
so long as it does not interfere with work :)
