Its looking like im going to be able to start coming again. Its one thing to get a baby sitter for one kid but two is a different story, but the young one is older now so grandma and grandpa dont mind as much [23:14] lol [23:15] Usually plan on 8 showing up, sometimes it goes over that number [23:15] cool [23:15] Wife works on sundays so I makes it a nightmare to get anything doner [23:16] It would be nice if the club went back to several dozen showing up [23:16] haven't seen that happen in a few years [23:17] We (TPUG) have noticed a steady upswing in attendance over the last six months. We're up to a good 25-30 per meeting. [23:18] what would you say the average age range would be now? [23:18] Everytime I have a problem with windows I go right back down stairs to the c64 and amiga.

When I booted into XP I would login it would them log me right back out [23:20] lol, wouldn't that minimize problems if you can't do anything with it? [23:20] Snog: There are two groups. Half are older, retired types and the other half are 30 somethings. [23:22] I have to admit, most of our new membership within the last couple years have been 30 somethings [23:22] yeah it would, lol luckly I have 2 windows partitions and a linux so I just transfered stuff to the other win and was running again. I ususally have a seperate win setup just for gaming [23:23] must be allot of people that had c64's as teenagers and such and have been getting back into it [23:23] I've observed that the two groups participate for very different reasons. [23:23] really?
