[wellylug] What do you expect from a user group meeting?

[Callum Grant]

Please pardon me for butting in John, but considering that a. the server
appears to be for your business, not a charity and b. you haven't been able
to provide us with enough information for us to really know what's going on
I would suggest that you just put up a job (for free) on Student Job Search
and pay some needy computer engineering student $50 to fix it.

On topic though, I would go along to meetings if they were around, I always
seemed to have something on at the same time previously.

Cheers,

Callum
