Last night's meeting featured a talk by Martin Ward on databases, using Microsoft Access to demonstrate some of the things we might want to do with such beasts. The talk was informative and entertaining, and provoked a good number of questions, proving most of us were awake! Attendance was a little down but we ended up with 15 or so round the table. The evening trialled a new format whereby the talk finished at about 9.30 and was followed by a general discussion. A couple of members were carrying computer kit that they set up after the talk, one having problems setting up SmoothWall and the other a sound card. The new format seems to work; in fact we had to pull the power plug at about 10.30 or we'd have been there all night! -- GT _______________________________________________ To post to this list, send email to npcug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, send email to npcug-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field.
