Hello ParLUGmentarians,
I know I'm a few days late but I would like to thank all of you for the
hospitality that you showed Pierre and I. We both had a great time and are
looking forward to the first EOQLUG meeting later this year.
Also, we are having another MonLUG meeting on Tuesday the 24th, if you wish
to attend you are always welcome.
BTW, I took a few hour on Sunday evening to read some recent posts in .space
that we discussed over supper. I was ROFLMAO! It was just too funny! My
parents thought I was nuts for laughing so hard :-)
TTYL,
KZ
