Hi Dennis,

>Are we on on Tuesday?

Hmmm, I setup a google calendar thingy 2 weeks ago to send to the
list email address (I subscribed the relevant email address), looks like
it didnt work :-(

Yes, next Tues 22nd is suppost to be the SIG meeting in Melbourne.
Ok, here it is now :-)

We would like to remind you of this upcoming event.

Bigger hmmmmmm, google calendar looks like its correctly setup to
send a reminder 1 week before hand, correct date has been set, which
is "fourth Tuesday of each month" and I'm also listed to get a reminder
and I didnt get that to my personal email address either. Think I'll go
back to the old way of doing it !

Are you sure Dennis was asking about the Melbourne meeting, not the 
Adelaide meeting ?

Hi Ken and all who have advised about brands of DVD.

Testing so far has shown:
Imation - fuged'em!
Australia Post - unknown mfr but variable
Verbatim - first try no go. Will try again
An unknown brand of printables 100% OK so far.

We are now more confident that the burner is OK.

Will keep trying and reporting.

Hi Ian, Bob and fellow Melbourne OS/2 SIGers.

I will be an apology this month due to a prior engagement - another
meeting.

Enjoy the dinner afterwards as well!
