Excellent news - at our present growth rate that should last about a
year:-)

Nope, just forgot about the 1 in front of the 5;-)

Agreed, but how do we go about doing it? Increase fund-raising
activities? Solicit donations from other corporate sponsors (TWICS is
doing more than it's fair share)? Sell TLUG versions of Linux on
CD-ROMS? 

As I recall:

John Little has offered the hardware (a 486),
finding a fast connecton close to the backbone is difficult,
hardware maintenance is an issue.

On a related note, Craig's Linux Journal article is: The Tokyo Linux
Users Group Grows Up ( I can't wait to read it!). That begs the question
- what are we going to be when we leave the nest and have to fend for
ourselves?
