The NILUG meeting will be held tomorrow in Coeur d’Alene. I’m looking forward to it. One of the regulars will bring Revolution OS, a video about open source. I will bring Ubuntu Ultimate for those who want to see it, and will also bring an NEC PC8201 that I have had for at least 25 years. Should be a fun meeting.
I hope to get a lot of chores done this weekend. I need to change the tires on my Honda and hook up the brakes in the Plymouth. I also want to find a place that can help me with the restoration of the Plymouth’s interior.
