Does anyone on the list have interest in this kind of stuff? <br><br>It doesn't bother me too much, but... if there's a majority opinion that we want to politely unsubscribe ourselves from future BerkeleyTIP (I have not idea what that is) message, we should do that.<br>

===== PEOPLE ARE TALKING:<br>
Chris said: the meeting went very well for Feb. 7.<br>
<br>
Windsor said: I am interested in Jack's<br>
idea of focusing a group on promotion of Linux as a desktop operating<br>
system and targeting perspective Linux users. I'm enthusiastic about<br>
doing something to this effect, like hosting an install night, standing<br>
in Sproul Plaza near a card table, etc..<br>
<br>
David said: the USB headset I ordered and will<br>
pick up at the post office tomorrow -<br>
Markt9 (from virtual lug) told me that it was a very nice one. I can't<br>
wait until I get the chance to try it live.<br>
<br>
& Windsor says: I posted some guidelines for people editing the web<br>
page. Also, (and I'm not trying to be a kill-joy) I think the smilies<br>
should be left in IRC and private e-mails. Every time I see one on the<br>
site I think of <a href="http://myspace.com" target="_blank">myspace.com</a> or <a href="http://icanhazcheeseburger.com" target="_blank">icanhazcheeseburger.com</a>.<br>
<br>
john_re says: Thanks for the tipz, everyone. - I'll keep 'em in mind.<br>
;)<br>
<br>
ps: & more doubbble pluz big thanks to Windsor, for the new website<br>
design. :)<br>
