needing shave ;-). Most people consider me tall. “Old but not decrepit” ;-) (I’m in my 60s IIRC ;-).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

So, who wants to start?<br>
btw, one important question: where, exactly, is the meeting location? this is important especially if I end up taking local transit. I will need to know where the nearest stop is.<br>

source and all exceedingly expensive (and in 3 cases, requiring external hardware to work most effectively). So, yeah, I have the best reason that I used (and still do in some fashion) linux..

so reliable. It takes longer than 2 hours to get to the east side of town from here (including wait times, transfers and other nonsense). Getting back would prove even more problematic as service cuts off after 9 PM in most locations.
