[NBLUG/talk] talk Digest, Vol 182, Issue 2

[marcus barrett]

we need NBLUG branded swag, c'mon we can at least take up a collection and
have some hoodies made, the profit can go into the coffer to buy the group
some stuff, like our projector and maybe some  keyboards and mice and
cables and stuff to have on hand so if someone forgets things it won't ruin
their presentation.
