<br>Hi everyone,<br><br>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@hotmail.com <br><br>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.<br><br>Thanks <br><br>Micky<br><br>> From: chat-request@lists.lrug.org<br>> Subject: Chat Digest, Vol 56, Issue 22<br>> To: chat@lists.lrug.org<br>> Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 14:01:40 -0700<br>> <br>> Send Chat mailing list submissions to<br>> chat@lists.lrug.org<br>> <br>> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br>> http://lists.lrug.org/listinfo.cgi/chat-lrug.org<br>> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br>> chat-request@lists.lrug.org<br>> <br>> You can reach the person managing the list at<br>> chat-owner@lists.lrug.org<br>> <br>> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>> than "Re: Contents of Chat digest..."<br>> <br>> <br>> Today's Topics:<br>> <br>> 1.
