Nelson, Yes I gathered as much. I was just feeling like giving a presentation on Linux talking with hardware in a live environment with live machines. I think the craving has passed....lol

Was: Re: Ré : Re: User Group alive? Yes it is alive although I have lurker status rather than heavy contributor. There are so many sources for how to info on Linux both textual an video that I guess that is the first source people go to. Asking question to your "neighbours" does not have a big advantage over asking the rest of the internet when you are unlikely ever to meet. I remember a meeting at Vanier College, where someone there gave me a copy of knoppix live cd in the days of transition from dialup Broad band. I did not have access to big download at that time and I appreciated it. All the places where you used to go to find info in the physical world and bump into people who where interested in the same thing, have vanished. A not insignificant part of a century ago I spent my spare and some work time at l'octet, computer land, compucenter and the computer store on Phillips square. Taught my self unix on a Fortune 16:32 (???) in the store while customers looked on. I get the owners didn't mind as I was effectively doing a free demo. So back to the question is this list dead. No but it needs to find a purpose to be anything but a occasional "local" question resource.
