Hmm, I thought you had the keys? I think that makes you a "key" player?

Sorry :)

Wrt FreeBSD, it would be nice if someone could demonstrate some of the major
differences (and no, I don't want to hear about any possible performance
related stuff, usability is far more important).

Who's that? Never heard of him :)

UML would be cool, though wasn't there a presentation last year? Maybe I'm
getting confused with a conference.

vlc worked first time on my dell laptop, never tried it on any other
machine. I would be interested in someone who was trying to get a Tivo
equivalent to work.

And anyway, as long as someone has some keys and more than one person wants
to go, CLUG exists.
