Greetings to all,
I'm Brian Smith and I'm intending to come to the meeting tonight if that's OK with you all. Just a quick biog - I was an advisory teacher for ICT with Cambridgeshire for 12 years, now semi-retired. Started with BBC Micros, then to A3000/Archimedes before the whole world went PC. Now a reasonably competent user of XP. Very tempted to "Go Apple" but love the Open Source movement in principle. I tried to install Ubuntu on a W98 Dell laptop and failed (black screen after the installation process - graphics driver error?? But how do you deal with driver issues in Linux?) I've also bought a Linux Asus eeePC which is an amazing little device. If you have a spare five minutes and fancy a read, the eeePC is possibly for my granddaughter and the logic is all at http://communities.naace.co.uk/bsmith/weblog/709.html under the title "One Laptop per Child". My own website is very out of date but you can see me at http://www.briansmithonline.com/ Middleton School at 7.30. Is that right? And how long do you usually stay? Hope to meet you tonight. Brian Smith Stamford
