Greets Folks,
I was thinking over the last two PLUG meets that things were getting
a bit crowded. How does everyone feel about looking for a larger space to
hold the PLUG meetings? No slight to Cyberloft intended, in fact, many
thanks to Mostafa for providing us with a much needed forum. No need to bog
down the PLUG list with replies, email me directly at
secher@cynet.net <mailto:secher@cynet.net> , and in a few days, I'll list
the results en-toto.
BTW, sorry if this is coming through with HTML tags, I can't seem to find
the toggle for text messages in outlook (used at work, not home..).
Peace,
Vale

Great... I planned on making the next meeting my first. I might
want to
rethink that, considering this new publicity :) Of course, I still
gotta borrow the car and make sure my friend can come but ill sure
as
hell try to make it (and figure out where Walnut St is)
