Bah, i was asked to leave, even though i was waiting for a guy who i helped do an install on his laptop. It was ok with me, because i wasn't sure he would come back, nor when, but we finished the install on the floor in the unofficial hacking area with him, so ... That said, i have no problem with being asked to go to the hacking area, i didn't know about it beforehand, but chairs and tables would have been very welcome. Friendly, Sven Luther
