Blogger & New Laptop / NNi

Between Blogger not automatically saving periodically when a new post was being written tonight and my clumsy fingers not yet being used to the smaller keyboard on the new laptop, the original post for tonight for myDigitechnician got blown away into cyberspace.

Rather than spend another twenty minutes retyping the original post, the initial issues list for NEW NET will instead be posted. While tomorrow's post is typed, the "Save as Draft" button will occasionally be utilized to prevent a recurrence of tonight's performance.

Below is the initial list of issues for the TUESDAY, 17 October 2006, NEW NET (Northeast Wisconsin Network for Economy and Technology) 6:50 pm weekly gathering at Mister Churro, 207 N. Richmond St., Appleton, Wisconsin, USA. The final list will be posted on this blog by 1500 hours (3 pm) Central U.S.A. time on 17 October 2006.
