[GLLUG] Meeting, Tuesday, January 27th

[Patrick Goupell]

True.  But if you wanted to do a presentation / setup at a meeting then 
a vps you can turn on and off does not require you to move around / 
setup hardware at the meeting site.  Just bring a laptop to connect to 
the vps.

But anyway, it was just a suggestion for a possible meeting night.
