[XCSSA] Netvista's & Christmas goodies!

[xcssa@xcssa.org]

Hey Tweeks,

    Did anybody in the group ever get anything useful done with those 
Netvista's? Got and sold my before everybody got interested in tinkering 
with'em. Wouldn't mind seeing a presentation on some of the cool things 
being done with them. Anybody get any cool toys for Christmas? This was an 
unplugged year for I and my family. Lots of board games, football, baseball, 
soccer ball...trying to get these kids outside and off the TV/Computer. Not 
just them either, me too. Can't walk a block without being outta breath. 
Love my job doing nursing over the phone with the computer all day but 
didn't anticipate the toll it would take on my health. Thought all you 
cubicle dwellers had it easy-)

                                HAPPY NEW YEAR! GENE
