Hi Chaps
Have noticed a fair number of people on many Mac forums are based in my vicinity.
So i wondered whether a locally based Club/society/union, might be of interest and use to us.?
Im based in OXFORD uk.
Along with several other Mac heads.
I'd be interetsted to hear from anyone who thought a locally based informal Club type thing would be cool, or not as the case may be.
Forums are Great, but they lack immediacy and social interaction.
So anyone Up for a beer?
This should apply equally to Newbies and seasoned Pros.
(no I'm not a newbie, ive been Mac'ced up for several years (I still have a Mac classic and LC 475 in my loft!)
I'm willing to help others, so why not start a bit of 'on the Ground' networking chaps.!

Ho Small green man from middle size red planet.
I tremble before your power oh great one.
(ps my heritage has been questioned of late, and the consensus is that i'm not human, so perhaps we are related?)
Or deadly enemies from another quadrant, who knows?, who cares? who even notices?
Ha Simple but effective method of obtaining slots. and processing power

1) Buy a 95/9600
2) Fit G4 Processor upgrade and 1Gb of RAM
3) Network with Other machine(s) (ethernet)
4) fit Lexicon core system (inc daughter board) pci card
5) fit TCpowercore(when youve saved up the pennies)
6) Fit Fastest SCSI card you can for own disks.
7) if you really want to be flashy Fit firewire card (preferably tha sonnet, along with the sonnet Processor upgrade) (can use target mode)

8) sit back and enjoy all the extra power and processing abilities and
laugh at the accurate sync thats possible between machines!

9) Admire your bank balance, in that its black and not red, even though theres not a lot left in it.

10) All this still leaves a spare slot for second video card.!!!!

11) Struggle to find room for 3 monitors behind mixer.

I admit its not perfection, and i'd much rather have a Dual 1GHz G4 with say 6 or even 8 PCI slots, as well as twin Graphics and built-in DVDrw/CDrw. and 2x23'cinema displays (or even 2 x 60' plasma displays!!!)
but it does work, and with relatively little fuss.
Alternatively, Embezzle 16Million Quid/Euros and buy whatever takes your fancy.
