[kwlug-disc] [kwlug-announce] Meeting Monday: OpenLayers

[Andrew Sullivan Cant]

Paul,

Help!

I find myself missing the cable that will allow my notebook to plug into a prjector. Lost in moving it seems.

Would it be possible to use on of the working centre machines tgo do my  presentation? All I really need is OOImpress and a webbrowser.

Thanks in advance.
Andrew
