Well, it would seem Sundays are the best days for everyone.  That is fine.  However, I am in the last 2 weeks of a play I am in and we have Sunday Matinee shows.  Let us see...who is up for 11/25 or 12/2?<br><br>BTW, as we speak, more than 10% of the students are now using Ubuntu and more want it on Monday.  We kinda got a strange mini revolution going on here. <br><br>So, for Ubuntu meetings at the college, we will have some rookie members.  :)<br><br>We gotta start documenting this stuff.  Jim, please write down in detail here everything you can remember about Ashley's lap top.  Make brand problems solutions partitioning method, what brand deodorant you were wearing...everything. <br><br>Rich...observations based on your tour and conversations with Brooke.  <br><br>Robert, tell us about the Ubuntu preinstalled laptop you sold to Matt.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Nov 8, 2007 6:28 AM, Wally Valters < <a href="mailto:deepsky99@gmail.com">deepsky99@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);
