BART to Fremont and then get a ride...

Shaleh has generously offered to transport myself, Erich,
and one or two more from BART to Fry's and back.  Seating is
limited, so RSVP.

It sounds like the FusionHDTV now has a driver contributed
by an Australian, and it's on the latest KnopMyth CDs (I
bittorrent downloaeded R5A12 yesterday), so I may grab one
of those too if Fry's has them.

Next meeting may be in San Francisco if Mr. monthly digest
gets off his butt and sends out his ANNOUNCE... oh
settle down, you're a geek too, you can take it. ;-P
