Welcome Stuart!

The noise on the list at the moment is being domminated by discussion
of a problem with a web hoster that many people here are using, so it
isn't always *quite* so busy :-)

I'm afraid that that book is rather poor, if you can cancel it then
do and I'll give you my copy for free. The best place to find out
about stuff in the UK is this list!

If you are able to get to Hatfield next weekend then we have the UKHA
2003 Conference which will be fantastic. Find out details about it
and loads of other stuff on Marks site www.automatedhome.co.uk
