Re: [aclug-L] Meeting dates, topics, suggestions

[John Reinke <ufotofu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need to speak here, since I'm one of the unlucky ones who cannot attend
the meeting.

Tuesday will be a little better for me, but I have a class at 7pm. 6pm on
Tuesday would be best for me, but that's probably too early for others. But
then, *I* teach the lab at 7pm. Why don't I try to convince everyone to
attend the meeting instead of working on their programs?  ;-)

Anyone for Friday or Saturday night? (A true sign that I have no life...)
