[DUG] Presentation in Christchurch - any other meetings in Chch?

[Richard Vowles]

Don't take this the wrong way, but the Internet is really good for drawing
like people together more than people who disagree. All of the social
networking concepts really encourage you to follow people who are
like-minded - blogs, facebook, twitter, etc. I wouldn't be surprised that
people who follow your blog want 64 bit more than cross platform.
I have to agree with you on that though, I have seen much more of a demand
for 64 bit than cross platform. But in NZ, we tend to be outliers rather
than the norm. Malcolm is responsible for pretty much all of Asia/Pacific -
so his territory covers NZ, Australia, India, Taiwan, Korea, China, South
East Asia, Singapore and I think Japan. Thats a lot of differing opinion -
and I suspect the growing number of Mac people in "real life" is
contributing towards it.
