Re: GLUG: Topic for the meeting at the end of December

Hi all

Ok I've just spoken to Henry (the Lab admin) and he says there shouldn't be a
problem with keeping the lab open later than usual, I'll be supplying a CD with
Quake 1 on it which we can copy across to a few machines for the night if
there's no piracy police officers around ;) , whoever else wants to bring other
stuff must bearing in mind the machines in the lab don't have 3d cards...the
only drawback might be that only 1 gate will be open 'cos it's holidays at RAU.

Also he's going to try organise the projector for you Henti, else we might have
to supply our own if their media dept is closed. Would you be able to arrive a
bit early with a StarOffice CD in hand to install on whichever machine you'll
do the presentation on? Else maybe just bringing your PC in could work.
