The quarterly meetings are Wednesdays at 7pm in Nashua. An hour drive (+/-) each way means leaving around 18.00 and getting back home around 22.00 if I don't socailaize. If I'm not going to socialize, why bother going? I have my day-job in Manchester, plus I have many farm chores. I can't afford to pay for help on the farm, so my free time is really at a premium. I almost never go to the CentralLUG meetings in the Concord area (even though it's much closer) because it's a week-night.
Do I expect the LUG schedules to be changed to suit me? Of course not. I am one person with (arguably) very different circumstances. I'm just saying that if the meetings were held week-end afternoons instead of weekday nights, I would be much more likely to attend. -- TARogue (Linux user number 234357) The instructions said to use Windows 98 or better, so I installed Linux. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
