PS:  Thanks to JD and Orlando for keeping ALE NW rolling.
I also wanted to share that I got a call from Joshua Roberts today,
the instigator behind a couple of university campus Linux LUGs
including ALE NW.  He seems to be thriving in totalitarian Communist
China. Though he's not doing much with I.T. or Linux right now, he
asked me to send along a shout out to ALE.
