Now that's funny! Looking at their website, their August meeting agenda was:


**

*THE FUTURE OF HOME OPERATING SYSTEMS**
**(Ubuntu)*

*Longtime Club Member Cliff Johnson will introduce us to
an alternative to Microsoft Windows that:*

   - *Is easier*
   - *Is better** and, best of all:*
   - *Is FREE!*


Rather ironic :)
