Jay, Thanks for the notification about Saturdayâs meeting in Penzance. I live in East Devon, so a trip to Penzance is a whole day affair. Unfortunately I have a prior engagement on Saturday which I cannot rearrange to free up enough time for a visit. Iâll have to postpone my introduction to your âblack mac bookâ until the next meeting.
