Wasn't sure how to add myself to the list, and when I did, it wasn't

Yeah I try to explain things to her, but I think it is a
combination of falling deaf ears and simply not getting it. My mum is 66 this
year, has been using a computer a lot more in the last 4 or 5 years as she has
become more or less bed-bound, so its been a good thing for her. But even after

Have you tried educating
Oh god, don't even go there... My mum has a netbook running XP. I really
would like to get Ubuntu on it, seeing as I am her main support,
although I do live 200 miles away, so support at the mo is via
logmein.com... not that any of this is any reason not to use Ubuntu.

Well as it turns out, April 17 is my Mum's birthday so not likely I
could come anyway.
Its funny tho, as just this week I have been wanting to go only to see
the IMAX Hubble 3D showing in there that's on at the mo. Really
would like to see it. Its about 50 mins long and should be spectacular

Ha!
I'm bring my dad along, not just because of my age, but because it means he has
a day out too :)
Can't wait to see you all there!

Hey Jon!
That's nothing to worry about - In actual fact, all I know about people on IRC
is their name and IRC nick!
And that is why it's great to meet people face-to-face!
It would be great to see you there if you can make it!

Thanks for that Joe,
Would like to come along, depends on whether I am free from family commitments
and

Hey Jon,
It;s been floating around the mailing list ever since Isabell (aka issyl0)
thought and started planning it, which must be a month or two back.
It's also at fossevents.org, and plastered on some of the Ubuntu-UK members'
blogs too.
There is some info on the wiki at:
https://wiki.ubuntu
This is the first I have heard of this outing.
Just wondering how people would find out about such social gatherings?
Cheers,

That is very true, but I was thinking more of someone like yourself pulling out
a laptop for a quick 5 minutes and saying "look at this [om nom nom explain
here]"
But yes, I can understand - It was more of a "its there if you need it" rather
than a "we have to use it".
As you said yourself, it

Sure, I just have experience of attending a fair few events. At 'geek'

Well, as we're all a big linux-using group, its a worthwile point. I will
bring my (decrepid) Lucid one along just in case!
Also, isabell, I have been told that all credentials are the same, and they
never expire; So if you go and get one like you suggest, we can all use it
without repeated trips

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that I have been in contact with the
Science Museum (for issyl0's organised outing there in April), and they have
free WiFi access available.
