"ANNOUNCEMENT": BAD meeting is, correctly, this Wednesday, October 8, eight, eighth. Not 9, nine, ninth.

[Hereon]

Berkeley is a town on the east side of the Saint Francis Bay, in Hotforn, er,
California, USofA, Earth.  

The editor of the town of Berkeley's bi-weekly newspaper, 
The Berkeley Daily Planet
http://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com
said Berkeley is _not_ a city. [Is that :) or :( ?]

Mapquest has this to say: (directions by car and public transportation):

Mapquest has left off the part about public transportation!
I say: Take bart to the Downtown Berkeley station. (See - the BART people
have go tit right - it is a "town"!)

You will be going here:

Oh, have I told you?  I have a new _friend_! . . . . His name is gcal.  :)

Will whoever gets there first please create "a little sign that says 'BAD' so
people know where they're supposed to sit", out of materials available
onsite, ala McGuyver? TIA.

Seriously, now, folks:
Yahoo email has a stated policy of emptying my "bulk mail" folder "once a
month".  Since that folder is now filling up w/ MS viruses in about 3 hours =
2 MBytes (I define 1 MB = 1048576 Bytes) of viri, and when it's full YMail
kindly stops receiving further legit email for me (TYVM), I know I have
missed receiving some email.  

Anyone know a free (as in fine wine) linux friendly web email service w/
reasonable TOS?
