Good Morning, everybody.
 I'd like to avoid accounting problems, which are discussed a couple
of days ago. So let's not gather money by undirect method.

 Takkyubin charge is Ok. But other things are too early to decide.
Current TLUG homepage is under 25 MB. I feel John's machine is good
enough at a start point.
 Let's make the John's machine work at PHT. Then we can see what is the
problem. 486 is too slow? Shortage of Hard Disk? Shortage of RAM? 128K
is too narrow?
 I make http server run on my all Linux boxes. The lowest
spec is '486DX2,8MB RAM, 250 MB harddisk (80 MB is used for Dos)'.
It works fine for me. I'm now planning to let this box measure temperatures,
and report the results through http server.

 When we hold a meeting, we can gather nearly 15,000yen (500yen x 30).
This is a sufficient budget for a non-profitable group, isn't it?

 The less more money we use, the more we can promote Linux.

Cheers,
