Hi all, Huge thanks to Cody for asking us and giving us a gentle push to attend the meeting. I'd also like to thank Phil for taking us to Garten, we picked up what looks like a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad Core-i5 from 2013. I'm busy installing Ubuntu on it right now and can't believe we got it for $60. It was great meeting everyone and although we're normally not the most social, we really did have a good time and loved finally getting to meet the community.
I will definitely be checking the retro gaming links. Not sure if it will be the 3rd or the 17th that we attend the next meeting, I'm thinking the 3rd but I will let everyone know before hand. Thanks again, looking forward to next time.
