[Oh, drat -- that reminds me that I forgot to get some details from you
about last Friday, but best not choke the list with that]

Hmmm... A true test of tux-worthiness would be to remove Microsoft
Windows from a "hardened" system and replace it with Linux, but that
could lead to bodily harm of the onlookers more than anything else...

We could, however, place him up on the podium as the main speaker for
the evening -- nothing gets more elaborate [and potentially
embarrassing] than that around here, however I recall he said something
about being (conveniently) "out of the area" -- oh, wait, Dustin: you
have experience setting up h.243 or whatever it's called, right?  Maybe
we could video-conference him in as the speaker...

My point here being that I don't think we have a /confirmed/ speaker for
this month -- anyone care to contradict me? [please!!!]  And while I'm
at it, who is up for next month?
