And I'm a Repair Cafe fixer - have been almost since they opened the doors in Toronto. Here's the website: http://repaircafetoronto.ca/ I think a lot of the people on TLUG are just as likely to fall into the "potential fixer" category rather than the "needs a repair" category. I'd encourage you to come out even if you have nothing that needs fixing - to enjoy HackLab (which is a very cool place) and to get a feel for Repair Cafe, which is vibrant and lots of fun. We can always use more volunteers, and being a volunteer for them is educational, fun, and rewarding. I'll be there: come say Hi, look over my shoulder and offer some advice on fixing the broken laptop I'm likely to have sitting in front of me. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ [email protected] --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
