Uh, Beth, Russ, he said that he can't make it to Saturday meetings.
I wish there was something I could suggest. We have a similar situation
in Erie where somebody works Saturdays and can only make it to the last
half hour of the Erie group's meeting. If there was a way that we could
arrange a mid-week meeting with at least some folks in attendance, then
that would solve that problem.
Oh yeah! I just remembered:

It's not an InstallFest, but at least we could help you out a little
bit, Ian.
