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..).

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) -Eric Windisch -- To unsubscribe, send a message with the word 'unsubscribe' in the subject or body of your message to plug-request@lists.nothinbut.net -- To unsubscribe, send a message with the word 'unsubscribe' in the subject or body of your message to plug-request@lists.nothinbut.net
