                      Hi All,

                      I am glad the first "Coffee House" meeting went so well. Marvelous.

                      I am taking the liberty of closing this old thread because, well, it is quite long and the information here and there is out of date.

                      I am going to ask Sekishi to start a new thread like it for "Coffee House".
