-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Minority interest I guess. Does anyone have contacts at the school for the blind in Exeter? If so please pass this on. I'd be happy to discuss any background they might want. It is also the kind of event that I think the LUG funds ought to be used to support, if someone needs some help convincing the powers that be to send them. Janina is a real expert, and it would be a pity to miss this chance. Must be worth the fee for an explanation of ALSA from those who have no choice but to master it ;) Simon > On Tue, Oct 07, 2003 at 12:19:44PM +0100, Jeremy.Ali@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > This event was *previously* available to Techshare delegates only.
