Re: Cap'n Crunch Whistle

I am not sure if you were just accidently melding two conversations or what,
but was this in reply to the JaxLUG's possible use of the AT&T building for
our meetings or in response to the discussion regarding the locale of the
2600 meetings?

I don't think the AT&T venue is the spot for a 2600 meeting; I would even go
as far as say that some people attending the 2600 meeting might even object
to having to sign in...

Now, regarding the JaxLUG's possible use, I will reply to that in its own
thread...
