SMT?

Yeah it is a small world.  My daughters are now going to Sherwell Vally 
School where my fiancee went when she was younger, and when I worked at 
Torbay Council (about 8 years ago now) I helped out in distributing 
computers donated by Nortel to all the schools around Torbay including 
to Sherwell Vally School, TCC, both Grammar schools and to Cockington 
School were my finance's third eldest daughter goes to school.

I think the Ubuntu idea would be a good one.  Paul Sutton, Tom Brough 
and I discussed about getting a load of Ubuntu CDs and distributing them 
around shops and asking them to give them away although unfortunately I 
haven't had as much time as I would have liked with starting work at 
Gemini FM (which covers the South West region) and having a new born 
baby in the house (although she's 5 months now).
