[Tfug] Computer Swap Meet ideas

[Glen Pfeiffer]

Hi Paul,

This is a great idea! Unless something bad happens or I'm out of 
town (not likely) I'll definitely be there.

Do you need any assistance with planning?

I'll float this in my local circle to help get more people. Got a 
catchy name for it? Kids these days need cool/catchy names before 
they'll even consider it! ;-)

Ideas:
7. Coffee and donuts. I'll ask around to see if anyone will 
   donate.

I don't have any other ideas to add to your list yet, but I'll 
think about it.
