[GRLUG] moving to GR

[Bob Kline]

Welcome aboard.  The e-mail part
of the GRLUG is quite active, and
very helpful in general.  Actual get
togethers wax and wane in frequency.
Several years ago meets at coffee
houses were done,  but nothing much
recently.  You will usually get many
good suggestions for hardware and
software questions.

Jump in.
