Mr. Chew, care for a suggestion?<br><br>About the cart you are talking about, I'm sure you are referring to the carts that was given away when you purchased a printer during COMEX 2008. It can either be pulled behind or pushed, and it can be folded to be carried easily.<br><br>Unfortunately I gave mine away to a friend. I'm not sure where you could buy it. You could try Sim Lim Square, or Funan IT Mall - Challenger?<br><br>All the best.<br><br>Heidir<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: C David Rigby <c.david.rigby@gmail.com><br>To: Thomas Goh <tomgohj@gmail.com><br>Cc: Ubuntu Singapore Mailing List <ubuntu-sg@lists.ubuntu.com><br>Sent: Monday, 15 September 2008 09:46:35<br>Subject: Re: [Ubuntu-SG] Speaker Request for NUS SFD, 19 Sept 2008 @ NUS<br><br><div dir="ltr"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 9:24 AM, Thomas Goh <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:tomgohj@gmail.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:tomgohj@gmail.com">tomgohj@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div><div>Just wondering if anyone is covering the history of OSS.
