For me that is true.

This would be good. I would come.

I have been to one meeting in the entire 5 + years I have 
subscribed to the BLU. Though I think that has more to do 
with a busy life than anything else. Most of the BLU 
contributers that I met lived outside the easy commuting 
range of downtown Boston/Cambridge. I think the monthly 
technical topics at the meetings carry more weight in 
justifying an evening away from the famiily. If there are 
enough folks interested in finding an internet cafe to meet 
and share linux / unix experience I would be interested. I 
live in Boston, are there others who would be interested?
