This past Saturday at the LUG/LEG photo day, when I got to the Point Lobos
entrance (8:30) we discovered it didn't open until 9. There was a line of
cars. I walked up the line to see if any other LUGgers were there and came
across a car, containing two LUGgers (names withheld to protect the
guilty), beaming info back and forth between Palm Pilots. Of course the
joke of the day was "cybersex between Palm Pilots"...
