Next meeting, December 3rd

[Alan Dayley]

Hey, this sounds very interesting to me.  I vote for Bob to present.  (He 
will have the projector anyway.)

Also, I got confirmation today that we can meet at Adtron again.  If no one 
objects with a better location, I will request it posted to the PLUG web site 
on Saturday.
