Dear Bill,

Thanks for the info about the Installfest. I'd like to attend
regardless -- can you give me the time and place?

As for my computer, well, I don't have one. The only machine I 
have is
an older Mac (which I bought for the software: Photoshop, 
Illustrator,
Quark, Pagemaker... but that's another story).

I was looking to either have someone build me a box or get a 
basic
machine from a store, although that would bring up compatibility
questions as I don't think I could buy a machine without an OS 
already
on it (which is why I wanted someone to build me a box).

Maybe I'm headed in the wrong direction, maybe a basic box from 
Micro Center or
somwhere would be fine. That's why I'd like to attend anyway, to 
get
some advice. If I could get a basic box in time, maybe we could 
work
something out.

FYI- Miguel de Icaza, the GNOME developer, will be speaking 
briefly at
a free event at Jillian's (Atlas Bar and Grill, 1st floor) on
Lansdowne St. this coming Thurs, March 9. You have to register 
at
www.developerWorks-barCode.ihost.com. He's only speaking for 
half an
hour or so, but there's free food and LEGO Mindstorms to play
with. It's sponsored by IBM (I've always been a fan of helping 
big
companies spend their money...).
