Our original page was lost when the server crashed months ago as I recall.
Rich Minear kindly replaced it with a template sort of page with the tools
he had available and knew how to use.   We have had some discussion on the
content, but up until recently have not had anyone that could take over
maintaining the site.   The folks at www.kclinux.com and a few other
HTMLers have offered their services.  Their initial rework is here:
http://www.kclinux.com/kclug   The format is similar to their KClinuc site.

Soon to be changed like I said.

Most people don't look at the webpage source when they view a page, but it
should be expected with this crowd.

As far as I know it is a Redhat or a Slackware server.   (Rich could
confirm this.)  And it is running quite fine thank you.

We even let flamers ;-) attend the meetings, but you generally don't get
the email flames here like you might get elsewhere.
Be glad to see you at the next meeting.   We skipped the January one at the
normal time due to Y2k related commitments.   Most of us are computer
people after all.

Welcome to the list,
Rip

P.S.  I currently use Outlook Express at work, so don't bother looking at
the source of this msg., I'll save you the trouble.   I have been
evaluating The Bat! from www.ritlabs.com as an alternate email client under
Windows, which I am forced to use.
