Pete,
No it is not JUST for programmers and techies, it is for people who
are willing to learn, willing to read. Who have a want to be in
control over there operating system. It is not for people who want
hand outs. The title of Robin's book is not "Email me a million times
I will fix all your problems, and if I cant or dont get back to you
fast enough bad mouth me on SLUG." If you want to get your issues
fixed do a littl research. Sending these emails and the one you sent
that simply had a quote from ALSA's website is not how you get things
fixed.
