Ah, if only people would have the same attitude when introducing
people to religion (while tongue-in-cheek, I'm sure many people will
understand the parallels between religions and OS preferences). :-)
I've enjoyed this thread. It's good to see there are people who are so
interested in keeping the club strong and relevant. I've also
appreciated seeing a few names who haven't written in a while. :-)
But I'm about to start a 29 hour trip home with 3 young children, so
I'm not expecting to participate for a while. Hopefully you'll be able
to come up with some good ideas for bringing people in.
In the meantime, if you see one of the alumni traveling back to
Brisbane for whatever reason, get them to do a talk! You can't tell me
that people skilled enough in their profession to be drafted overseas
don't have anything useful to offer! :-)
Regards,
Paul
