Actually, line 60 is still true.  As far as I'm aware, they haven't
spent any.

I personally would like to see reversal of all these splintering.  In
fact, I would like to bring Toronto, Kitchener/Waterloo, and Hamilton as
single group, partly because I am at equal driving time to all three.
:-)

But, first, my pet peeve...  Toronto meeting place has to move to where
people can park.  This alone will go long way in increasing turnout,
both at meeting and at any event we hold.  No one in his right mind is
going to carry his mid-tower case to installfest or hardware swapfest on
fucking TTC.  To expect this and then complain about lack of turnout, is
just insane.  One reason that I go to KWLUG and WestTLUG is I can park
right at the front door.  

Ralph-Thorton center is keep coming up.  I'm told that there is plenty
of free parking.  So, let's vote.  Who wants to change meeting place to
there?

    Me one.
