Hi Guys,

Sorry for not getting back sooner but I only check my E-mail a couple of
times a week...

I am happy to bring my range of Unix books to the next meeting on August 7
(next Monday)! and give an informal talk on them and programming in UNIX.

PS: Jamie, will there be a computer at the meeting on which we can try
things out on?

Cheers,

Geoff.
