Re: [BLUG] Presentation idea [Was: Where is everybody?]

Is it a VT105 terminal hooked to a slack box?  Running lynx and pine?  Or maybe even links -g?

I kid!

Well it would be more than just "Here is my desktop in all its glory,
bow before it" kinda thing. It would be more of showing you how I use
computers to get things done. What programs I use that make processing
easier, what mail program I use and why, etc. Perhaps calling it a
presentation on my desktop is inaccurate, it should have been called a
presentation on how I use computers in my daily life.

Re: [BLUG] Presentation idea [Was: Where is everybody?]

Mark, if you think there's something interesting about your desktop, I
strongly suspect I would be interested in seeing it. :) "Tips and
Tricks" are one of the most valuable things about this kind of
meeting, imho...
