[nmglug] Meeting this week;

[Ted Pomeroy]

Brian & NMGLugers, Bravo Brian. Glad the install worked and Grub and wifi
wrinkles ironed out. My take on the browser data is to not bring it in.
Unless you checked all the parameters in Firefox 'about:config' by hand and
know the defaults, you run the risk of problems. I say start fresh, read
the old files in the isolated drive if you need to find a link you hae
forgotten. But if you know the name you can find the url. Also read the
news on the new rules from Europe and note how the internet is changing.
Good luck either way. Glad for your success. Thank you, Ted P.
