True. Banner ads on the website? Company logos on all our printed materials? I'm happy to sell my soul for a stack of free CD-Rs etc ;-)
Another thing I keep forgetting to mention about the meeting - if several of us are planning on bringing machines, and some of you want to install linux etc, we need to decide on a type of network. I vote cheapernet (BNC style connections) over CAT-5, if only cos I've got three lengths of cable I can lay my hands on. It also means we don't need to worry about hubs etc...
Anyone graphically-minded out there and willing to throw together a few posters? Posters need to include:
Name of event: Anglian Linux User Group Meeting Date/Time: 2 or 3pm, 2nd May 1999 Venue: er, Laurie, what's the full address? Contact: http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/ or me (details in press release) Details: perhaps a bit of blurb about it?
Andrew.

Me too!

None of my PCs have anything other that RJ45s in them. I have a fair bit of cable, and a crimping tool, so can knock up cable on the day (anyone got some RJ45 plugs?). I only have a 5 port hub (10 meg), but they're not big, so we could easily get someone to bring another one.
