[nmglug] Time to resign,

[Akkana Peck]

The group will miss you if you leave, Ted. I know I would (even though I haven't been very regular about meetings, and I'll have to miss this week's since I have company visiting). Maybe you can still drop in occasionally?

Very cool to hear you can install a real Linux on student Chromebooks! I didn't know you could overwrite the BIOS on those.
