[Lilug Planning] Sorry I couldn't make it.

Hey

 	Holy crap.  I'm glad you made the best of it.  Thanks for hanging 
in there and I should be there next month as normal, you know to juggle or 
whatever.  :)

 	Maybe it's time for LILUG to invest in it's own HDMI to VGA 
converter.  It's a cheap little box that can create many more display 
options for laptops and tablets.  Mine was about $60.

 	Even if we only use it twice it would be money well spent.

 	Mine's a HDMI multiport switch, but something like this.
