When I first got involved with RLUG, I could barely spell Linux let alone use it. But since I had interest and enthusiasm everyone encouraged me. I've run into some incredibly unusual problems using Linux over the years (Sam & Jay will vouch for that.) And in almost all cases rluggers have stepped up to try to help me with them. My association with rlug encouraged me to go back and get some formal education on the subject and now I even use Linux in my office. I even have reached the point that when I'm working on a Billybox I forget and type ls instead of dir. &^)
I just wish my schedule would allow me to attend more meetings. > Sam Phillips wrote: > > >So I was pondering this mostly non-technical question this evening: > >What has RLUG done for you a member/lurker of the group? > > > >I'll start, > > > > - Meeting many people from different industries and backgrounds who are > > interested in technology. > > - Job Opportunities. > > - Experience with handling/herding groups of computer geeks. > > - Learning about things that I would normally not care too much about. > > > > > > > Something like Bob: > - RLUG is my place to hang around in the background > - Provides a place of learning...just about anything > - RLUG often leaves me laughing at the humor and friendly jabs > - A community to which I belong > - I know the group is capable of walking me through just about anything > I ask > > I would love to participate in meeting and events more often than once > every 5 years (D'OH!), but my schedule is pretty bad. _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
