[sf-lug] Thanks, Bobbie for all the help

[Mikki McGee]

Hello, All, 

And thanks a lot, Bobbie, for all the help so far, especially the last correction of the new computer, from Win to Ubuntu. 

I would still like a meeting, perhaps earlier that the old Monday time, to avoid sitting at a Mission St. bus stop for an hour or sometimes more. I haven't been attending because Sunday noon is a challenging time, and buses are rare after 7:PM. and I am getting on in age. 

Bobbie met me Monday 26th of Aug, to get the new machine into shape. She is a wonder. I also thank all the members that have helped this compu-duffer in the past. 

Bless All 
Mikki 



Hi LUGers, 

I just want to make clear that I have no objection to riding 
the bus at 
8 PM but it takes a half an hour to get back to Larkin Street and I have a 3 
block walk with my equipment in the rolling bag. When I was younger 
that was not so much but now when I got back from the meeting on 
Sunday I was too tired to do anything else. Also through the dark streets 
at night makes me nervous these days. 

However if anyone wants to meet at other times I will be happy 
to help them if they cannot wait for a meeting at the Cafe Enchante 
or whatever other public venue we end up at. I would rather see a 
meeting on the 2nd Sunday whether it is two or three hours but 
while I will be happy to be there at the start of meeting I cannot 
state unequivocally that I will be there until the end of the meeting... 
If the group keeps the meeting on 1st Sunday with extended 
hours the same is true. 

And I hope more than the few meeting attendees will give 
us the privilege of their opinions.
