That looks like quite a nice deal :)

From the sublime to the ridiculous ...

I have an old Panasonic Toughbook CF-47. Bought it off eBay, used it 
for work for a while, gave it to my son when he started Uni; he has 
now got a netbook (and almost finished his PhD)  and given it back :)


192 MB RAM (gee whiz! )
Pentium III 448 MHz
 There is some moan at boot up about the BIOS being pre 1999 so it 
can't do something :)

Disk 7.2 GB
Battery is shot, only runs from mains
currently running Ubuntu 7.04 (!!)
When I booted it up it said it had not done an fsck for 1209 days and 
proceeded to check the disk and booted up just fine.


It may not be quite what you are after but if it's of any use to you 
or anyone else I'd be happy to see it go free to a good home.

I have a small HP Laptop (unfortunately packed away in a cupboard at the 
moment), 1.6ghz 40gb hd 512mb but it has a faulty power connection, you 
have to wiggle the powerlead to get it to work. This fault usually 
requires a new power connector soldering on to the motherboard.

  I wont be able to make the talk on Android for Motion Logging. I would
  be extremely grateful on seeing the presentation slides if poss.

Ian,

No problem. I'm using an app (AndroSensor) to grab the data, most of the talk 
will be focussed on doing something with the data, displaying and 
understanding it. If you're interested in development of motion logging on 
Android, then the authors of the App would be worth contacting.

Cheers,

Tim B.

Re: [Hampshire] Surrey LUG Bring-a-box meeting: 13th October 2012, Red Hat (Farnborough)

2012-10-13 Thread Robert Longstaff
Hello. Just wanted to thank Dominic for hosting us - we had a great 
meeting today with a good turnout and the presentation on 
kvm/virtualisation was well received. I know for a fact that at least 
one new person to the LUG meeting went away with Linux newly installed 
on his laptop and was very happy about it!


Hope to see you again next month at a new venue in Reigate.

BTW We encourage people to bring old hardware, routers, graphic cards, 
books, etc. to meetings to give away as they are often snapped up and 
it's good to promote re-use. However, if any items you bring are not 
taken then please do take them back - we cannot expect the host to 
dispose of them.


Regards,

robert_
