Linux Desktop Survey
Well folks, there were only a few surveys completed, so not really enough to tabulate meaningful results. There were a couple of responses that indicated some movement toward Linux desktops. If anyone is interested in this topic and would like to provide information for the edification of the chapter please send comments or articles to the Editor, c/o info@hdi- calgary.org.

Thank you to those people who took the time to complete the survey.

Changes to Luncheon Tickets and Non-Member Pricing


Effective January 1, 2004 the price for non-members attending Help Desk Calgary luncheons has been increased to $40. Member prices remain at $25.00. If you are not a member now is the time to join!

New members and renewing members during calendar 2004 will be elligible to attend 3 free luncheons. Once notification is received that membership has been paid tickets will be issued. Another great reason to join today!

Help Desk Calgary will no longer be selling luncheon tickets. The administrative work required to maintain these has been prohibitive. IMPORTANT: All prepaid luncheon tickets issued in 2003 and earlier must be used by June 30, 2004.
