I hope not. Even if I rarely attend meetings, I appreciate everyone and everything that happens in WLUG. Recently soimeone I know by correspondence, apparently a nuclear physicist, has had problems with his aging Mac, and contacted me for help since he knows I build my own computers. He' wants to build his own, and install a Linux OS. He is in the US but not local. I recommended some parts for a new build for him, but also recommended that he find a LUG near him and contact them, etc. Is there a directory of LUGs that he can consult? Are the LUGs in contact with each other? If not, that should have been happening right along. I have one issue of my own going on in a prog I have here that I need help with --just a stupid glitch in a text file that should be easy to find, but the text file is HUGE, yet I don't know how to write the correct commands in order to find the probable bad characters in this file and correct them. It would probably be easy for someone, but... I should write this up and send it in case someone can easily solve this. I hope our LUG and the others are not planning to expire anytime soon.

A month with nothing, really? On Oct 7, 2014 9:52 PM, "Joel" <joelgroup(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Sent messages last month asking about the monthly meeting. No response in > a month.

I guess this is goodbye to WLUG

by Joel

Sent messages last month asking about the monthly meeting. No response in a month. No messages in a month. My time with WLUG was fun & informative. I wish you all health & happiness. Thank you, Joel
