Hi folks

I was hoping to hand out the last three boards I have today, but the way it
is snowing now I am not going anywhere for a day or two. I'll try to get the
boards distributed later this week.

Perhaps we can set up a meeting next week. Anyone have a good venue? I guess
if there are only 8 or so people even somebody's home would work.

No rush with mine. Maybe I can pick it up from some place in town, or
someone else might still be found for taking them for pickup.

We have a lounge that easily holds 8 people, and would take monitors and
computing equipment too if that's useful (I have enough power boards,
spare network switch and some spare patch cables).

It's 4�C out on the street, the snow is all mush and temperatures will
plummet after sunset. That makes driving to the meeting tonight a
hazardous proposition and it eould be more sensible to cancel. As I'm
crook I won't make it anyway and a postponed meeting would suit me
better.

I was certainly not thinking of tonight. Maybe next week?

btw If any brave soul feels the need for a board, my son Timothy has
one in town at university that he has not used yet (and probably will
not until uni holidays). You can email him at tfhma...@gmail.com
