[no subject]

Also, since I am the sole dictator ..er director of the Consortium I would
like to announce that a spot has opened up.  Mr. VanWierren's membership has
been terminated with due diligence and we now have an opening ... for a
member more appreciative of my 2 cycles of thought.

just kidding.

So are we going to wait to see if Mr. Suse/Novell can bring us a copy of
Suse Professional 9.1 to the ALE Central Meeting ? ... or should we go ahead
and purchase our own copy asap ??

  Yup, it is a shame..

  If you would have given it more thought we would probably ended up with
something cool like this:

  The group of linux users who are openminded but cheap and do not want to
have to pay high prices for open source free software and since we are a
loosly formed group well i think we are a group that desires to team up to
purchase and distribute for reduced cost to its members a copy of suse linux
9.1 because if you think we are all going to pay $90 for an update and not a
full release you have to be out of your mind so we are just a cheap
consortium of fillibustering aspiring degenerating linux users who are
cheap.

  Yup. I  agree. Consortium is so weak when compared to a group name like
that. Next time try and give it more thought. We would really appreciate
your due diligence.

  Have a nice day

  Eric

stuff immediately.  I only used about 2 cycles of thought on it.

    One question: Even though I signed up to share the cost of buying one
copy of SUSE 9.1, I must have missed the initial post on this.  Why is
this a consortium?

      1 : an agreement, combination, or group (as of companies) formed to
undertake an enterprise beyond the resources of any one member
