We had a computer on Friday and Saturday.  It wasn't brought out 
yesterday due to rain.

Although LUGOD is not "rich" by any means, I think we can afford some of 
the things you suggest.  What we lack is volunteer man hours, even to 
purchase and keep track of such goodies.  We did very well with WEF; I 
think our booth was very successful.  Plenty of people pitched in 
burning cds, printing fliers, and manning the booth.  We just need more 
of this effort on a regular basis to maintain our status as a premier 
user's group.

Thanks to everybody who helped!
