Yes, but I think you're ignoring my point: </blockquote><div><br>I always listen closely to what you say, because you usually raise good points and express yourself well. <br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
You were inviting people to<br>
help install Ubuntu onto the _school's_ computers. </blockquote><div><br>We were inviting people to come in to make any use of the facilities. We have 30 stations there where we people could have brought in machines and would have had the benefit of pre-set monitors, keyboards and mice. We also have spare RAM, spare hard drives, spare cables, spare screwdrivers, etc. We want people to use that facility for any good Linux-related purpose. <br>
<br>You have a good point, though, that I could have mentioned that we have all of those attractive features. We are going to have another meeting soon, and I will try to remember to be a bit more descriptive. More people would probably attend if they realized how many resources we have there. So thanks for bringing it up! :-)<br>

were also willing (though you didn't say so in your announcement) to<br>
conduct something approaching a real installfest, if anyone had shown<br>
up expecting one. </blockquote><div><br>Thank you. Our goal is to help people with their Linux problems in any way that we can. The fact that there is so much Internet access and power and pre-set stations makes it ideal to use this school's facilities for anyone's purpose. </div>
