Jeremy is going to try to take part in these, though I don't think he
can make the Tuesday one (some lame excuse about having to take a final
exam).  If the weather is good, I'm scheduled to do my first
long-distance
solo flight to Kalispell (near Glacier National Park), and although I
love you all (well, most of you!), looking at the Flathead Valley
from 7,500 strikes me as more appealing than watching you all on
the AG :)  

We're going to offload our AGN to folks who actually have more resources 
for long-term support, but I'd still like to at least "keep in touch" via
PIG's and such.  

We, along with Montana Tech in Butte have been teaching a 1-credit Unix
Programming Tools course this semester, which seems to have gone off
well - it's almost "old hat" to be teaching on the AG these days, but
still requires a lot of technical support, and the administrative
model is still elusive (by sharing a class, a single school has low
enrollment, which admin folks don't like, so it only seems to work
when you volunteer to teach "overload").
