There was somebody who came along to a meeting once with their son and
wanted to start something like this I think last year or the year before.
I'd be cool with getting something like a monthly event happening. I think
UTS while great, just has the wrong atmosphere for it.
Target audience - kids under 16
Focus: How to use the desktop, games, irc, instant messaging, multimedia,
how to do homework on it. Some simple programming perhaps (anyone got
Logo?)
