from the "production" network. We have excellent bandwidth and would have
no problem with people brining in "strange" hardware to a meeting. The
office is a professional environment and a "beer bash" would not really be
acceptable. However, if someone wanted t o bring a beer or two, bottle of
wine or wine cooler that would not be a problem. We just cannot have a
"beer bash" type atmosphere or the offer to use the conference room will quickly
be withdrawn by my boss.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I'm so sorry. I don't know how to answer a particular post so I'm having
to submit a new one.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think that moving the meeting spot should take into consideration more
factors than just "BEER". Personally, I'm not interested in attending a "beer
bash". I try to attend the LUG meetings in an attempt to
LEARN...although I've been stifled by the lack of ownership of a suitable
laptop at present. [Laptop = DIFFERENT SUBJECT ;) ]</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I like the idea of the North KC spot but it seems to be a bit small as
sometimes more than 16 people show up. Parking is another consideration.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The other suggestion mentioned where someone works. Exactly WHERE is this
located in the metro area? As the Real Estate industry says, "Location,
Location, Location" is what is important. LOL!!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for putting up with me.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
