Hey Guys,<br>
<br>
Hate to slide a shameless promo in the mailing list, but i've watched
your discussions for quite a long time. GRLUG list is one of the most
active in Michigan, with conversation that is often interesting to read.<br>
<br>
We're the LTSP / DisklessWorkstations.com guys. Been doing Thin Clients
for awhile. We're on the east side of the state in Troy.<br>
<br>
Have a look at our website, feel free to e-mail me questions.<br>
<br>
