away. No bout a doubt it!<br>

It's a lot of fun learning about new applications that members present - many
of which I'm interested in but may not have the time to get into right
then. I have put to use several ideas which I've learned from you COLUG
geeks over the past few years. A couple of these ideas have been
important and useful to my business. <br>
<br>
I also don't mind continuing to host whenever the group wants it to be up in
this area of town. Since we meet late in the month, let's take December
off each year since that always tends to land so close to Christmas? <br>
<br>
To quote Travis, "It would be a shame to loose this valuable
resource."<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Disappointingly it does seem interest is fading.
Having a local group<br>
of peers and seeing what those peers are up to has had tremendous<br>
value. I've always tried to do my part in giving back by presenting<br>
myself, thou life's responsibilities has made attendance of late<br>
difficult. It would be a shame to loose this valuable resource.<br>
