Alan:
Thanks for the info.  One of the reasons I got involved in the Fab project is 
that I have an interest (bordering on obsession) with discovering or creating 
the Ideal Computer Interface.  Dale's Fab4Linux concept seemed to be a 
definite step in the right direction.
Unfortunately, we haven't gotten the web site up yet.  I did pass out some 
CD's at the west-side January meeting, but there was a problem with the 
install script that I've since corrected.  I was unable to make it to this 
month's east-side meeting due to a scheduling conflict, but I would like to 
bring some of our latest-and-greatest beta CD's to the Stammtisch next week 
if that's still happening.  And hopefully we'll get the web site up and 
working within the next month or so.
