Hey Glen,

I must say I totally agree with what you say in your e-mail (especially the 
1st paragraph).

I don't like it when I've got my laptop (which is currently running 
Windows) up & running at a LUG meeting people walk past me and say "ewwww - 
Windows! this is a Linux user group!" (or something along those lines).

Why aren't people more encouraging when they talk to people like me, who 
use Windows?

Thanks,

Jeremy Naylor.
