[matilda] Hacklab lovin'

[Benjamin Major]

Well, certainly consider me in on that. I've spent all day being very peed 
off indeed with Microsoft. I've finally moved to Firefox, about time eh? Am 
interested in this Ubuntu. And am keen now to move into discovering lots 
more about OS software and networking...

So, anybody who is interested in facilitating the workshops- propose a 
definite weekly date to meet (preferably for me not Tuesday, Wednesday or 
Thursday daytimes) and I for one will definately be there.

In great anticipation.

Benjamin.
