              ==========================================


Attendance: 43   

Synopsis:  

Bob Collins <bcollins at fpcc.net> started out this month's meeting by giving
us a demo of the Midnight Commander file management system
<http://canvas.gnome.org:65348/mc/>.  This demo was followed by a
presentation about mobile computing by Sean Reifschneider
<jafo at tummy.com>.  A copy of Sean's presentation slides can be found
on-line at <http://www.tummy.com/jafo/presentations/mobile/>.  He
discussed the advantages of mobile computing, as well as the equipment,
software, and connectivity options available.

We wrapped up the meeting with our usual question and answer period
followed by the door prize drawing and after meeting socializing.  

One of the door prize drawings was for a BLUG iron-on T-shirt logo created
and donated to the group by one of our members, Jim Morgan, who recently
passed away.
