Is the Albion Firehall still the location for the installfest?  If so I'll
post directions to the board prior to the meeting.

Kudos go out to Chris, Bill, and everyone else (whose names I've forgotten)
for getting ErieLUG off to such a strong start!

The meeting was very well run, and participation was strong overall. It was
primarily an all-Linux user crowd, but a couple of newbies did grace the
meeting with their presence.

(Which reminds me... does anyone know how to mount a magneto-optical disc
partitioned on a SunOS box? Somebody was asking that, and if he reads this,
could he email me?)

In addition, I was able to hand out the IBM DVD's and about half of the
WPLUG business cards. Is our Western PA LUG ready to greet the REST of
Western PA? :)

A very promising start. ErieLUG's going to have a great future! I'm looking
forward to the first ErieLUG InstallFest in April, however it comes about.
