Ciaran With regard to Linux, Anthony Sales is a lecturer at RNC in Hereford and is developing, or is part of the team developing Vinux. He will be demonstrating this on our stand at Sight Village this year and we are also having a seminar as part of our fortieth anniversary at the Appolo hotel after Sight Village. I know some of VICS members usually come across to Sight Village. We'd be pleased to see you at the stand. If anyone is interested in taking part in the seminar, please look at our website www.bcab.org.uk I believe some information has recently been put up there, though I confess I haven't had time to take a look. Hope this helps.
