An acquaintance from when I lived at the building housing the
Linux-based CoffeeNet Internet cafe, in SoMa, San Francisco.

Hi Rick,

How are you doing?  Long time no see.  Still having get togethers at  
your place?  I occasionally see John Regan.  He is the only contact I  
have left with the Coffee shop group.

If you were going out to get a laptop for running linux, probably  
Debian, what would your choices be?

Hi there!  We're actually having a Linux meeting at my house in Menlo
Park, right this very minute -- until midnight today.  I figure you're
probably in S.F. or the East Bay, but, in case it's convenient:

I'd get a used IBM ThinkPad T42 or T42p, from eBay or SF Craigslist.
Really.
