[Cialug] Lunch meetings

[Nathan C. Smith]

There is much conflict within me.

I simultaneously like and hate the ENQ/ACK/NAK idea.

Josh, I have to admit I didn't get the Gecko idea at lunch, I think I'm
windows-manager agnostic.  When I read the word I understood the KDE
association.

We need a geek gang sign we can flash at each other or a secret 
hand-shake or accost everyone and yell "ENQ" at them.  If they "ACK" or 
even "NAK", they're one of us
