And maybe some other stuff too. Be sure and go to the Clickers web site and 
register for the workshop as it will be a hands-on workshop and we only have 
so many computers available in the lab. Anyone with a laptop that has 
wireless connectivity is encouraged to bring those as well. 

As usual, the first 15 minutes will be a question and answer session. So if 
you have some questions, please bring them. You can also post them to the SIG 
mail list or the BRLUG Newbies list and we will try and dig up some answers 
for you before the workshop. 

We have some other exciting things that we are working on with details to 
follow soon. 

See everyone at 6 PM in the Lab on Monday, September 18th.
