There was a time when the learning factor made me have reservations about trying stuff. One of the purposes of a LUG, especially one resident at an institution of higher learning is to help lessen the difficulty of the learning factor for people without so much knowledge already but who want to learn. > I'm going to list a few things that I was introduced to at a user group > meeting that I went off and tried: > > Things I was already familiar with, but learned a lot more about: > > Things that are on my list to try soon: Although sincerely trying to not just say "Me too!" every uug meeting I have been to (and every other LUG meeting for that matter) I have been perpetually surprised at the knowledge and passion of the presenter and how much I am able to learn in such a short time. Such passion and keen personal knowledge is hard to find even among university professors about their subjects, which is not always a fair comparison.
