went very well. Seven attended, a brand-newbie declaring "it's just like 
Windows!" (for functionality). One laptop's been along to our course 
several times now, with config/dialup etc issues initially, now GIMP 
help, packages, and firewall resolved; 100% migration is the users' 
nearing goal. But the most fun was in having recruited our youngest ever 
LUG member, with a five-year old actively demonstrating all the kewl 
games packages her Dad had found for Ubuntu. So next month we'll prepare 
to run a row of those setups for SFD, as a lot of younguns accompanied 
parents and grandparents to our liveCD demo suite last year - quite 
unprepared for; should we be thinking of a GNU CUBLUG project long term? 
:) Lastly, we put in a club order for Ubuntu 7.04 CDs, which will be 
here in about six weeks. Thanks to all helpers.

Till next time,
Cheers, Rik
