(...) You're right. I'm usually very anal about that one, to the point of writing "it is" instead of "it's" 90% of the time so as not to blow it. If I realised I'd typed it, I'd have changed it. eric (25 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma, lugnet.loc.us.nh, lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.loc.us.ct, lugnet.loc.us.vt, lugnet.loc.us.ri)

(...) It's no more, or less, a new century than it is a new millennium. Note carefully I take no position on the main questions (1), but do assert logical equivalence. As to how to spell my name, it's(2) not that hard. After all, I figured it out by (...)

(...) Yes, I did specifically avoid saying "millenium". It is definitely a new century. I Suppose I could have said "NELUG's first meeting of the new month", but that sounds really really unimpressive. ;) eric (25 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ma, lugnet.loc.us.nh, lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.loc.us.ct, lugnet.loc.us.vt, lugnet.loc.us.ri)

Ok, I either missed someone announcing this, or no one has, so I will (I hope I didn't leave out any of the .loc groups Eric Kingsley usually includes...). NELUG will have it's first meeting of the new century on Monday, January 10th, 2000. If our (...)

(...) I don't know that we have any standards but there seem to be a lot of the 16x32 tan baseplates around (I have at least 10 and I think Dave said he has a similar number).
