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My own website is very out of date but you can see me at

Middleton School at 7.30. Is that right? And how long do you usually stay?
 
Hope to meet you tonight.
 
Brian Smith
Stamford
