[ale] Linux DESKTOP User's Group

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi Tod,

I would be interested.  Always good to make new friends.  I'd have to 
drink soda or tea instead of beer.  You cannot possibly be close to both 
GA 400 and I 85 time wise.  Regardless of what Google maps says about 
the distance, it takes a good while to get from one side to the other on 
highway 20.  My participation in medium to far distance events is 
dependent on the price of fuel.  $ 3 / gal = BAD.  $ 4 / gal = VERY 
BAD.  My wallet has already convinced me that I probably cannot be 
driving to 4 different meetings / month that are 1 - 2 hours away.  In 
my case, those would potentially be: Linux #1 (Emory), Linux #2 (yours), 
Hobby Robotics, and Java Users.  I'm in Cumming, so you're not an hour 
away, but you get the idea.  Nevertheless, the meetings sound like a 
good idea.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
