[Hampshire] [ADMIN] July Meeting, or lack thereof
Hello, You may have noticed that I've not announced a July meeting yet. I must confess I've been rather busy* and not had time to arrange one yet. However don't feel glum I will still see what I can sort out. * Work, life, cycling London to Paris and such...! -- Adam Trickett Chairman, Hampshire Linux Users Group http://www.hants.lug.org.uk/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

If people do not buy stuff at Jamies how does it effect the cost of meeting there. Their bits and bobs are very useful. Old cards, keyboards, cables etc. And I have bought a printer there. Many of us buy there whenever we want something a bit dated. I have always been very satisfied with what I have bought from Jamie's; but I have never in fact bought a computer from them. They are meeting a demand, even if it is not your demand. I doubt that it will be a condition of entry that every individual buy something, and I for one am happy to buy some bits and bobs to replenish my stock. I might even be lucky and find a Microsoft Intellimouse. I didn't realise that Jamie's now charges to accept everything. That does rather change things. :-( Lisi -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
