TA

I will be in my cube on thursday from 2 to 4. I am likely to be in my cube at other times as well. I'm on the second floor of compton, in the northwest corner in the cube labeled "Jim Snow", about 50 feet west of Wu-Chi's office. Look for the big antenna. Feel free to drop by or send me email.

I now have several sets of Mandrake 9.1 installation CDs, and I can burn more if I need to. If you need a set, drop by my cube.
