[clug-talk] bringing broken computer on 6th

[Dafydd Crosby]

Hey, that's a good idea: data migration day at CLUG. People can bring 
their old computers to the meeting, and we'll try to backup the data and 
bring it into the new decade. I've got an external USB to IDE adaptor 
and a DVD burner that can be plugged into it.
