Steve, I need to know what you want me to bring to Edmonton for the Calgary show. So far I will bring the 1. Plastic tablecloths for skirting, but not the stappler or pliers. 2. Two transformers, with wall adapters, to be speed limited with the (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) AFAIK this one (URL) the latest and greatest, but I think Michel wanted to fix-up that "snake-loop" in the bottom left.

Well, how about it? Chris and I were talking about getting together to make a mountain some weekend in January, and Michel said he's only got the 13th/14th that he'll be in town, so how about it?
