[LRUG] Mac from RoR developer

Hi everyone,

This is not so much to do with Rails development. A while back (when I used to be with Ruby-People) I bought a Mac book from a Rails developer and I'd like to hear from anyone who wants to get rid of theirs as I can do with another one. You can catch me on nahomadis at hotmail.com 

And for all my old friends from the RoR world wondering where I've gone (I placed a number of you when I was at Ruby-People), I am now a Drupal developer & enjoying the liberties of contracting.

Thanks 

Micky
