NMGLUGers, I came across an old install disk. Not one I had ever used, but it was time to replace the AOL disk I was using(the back side) as a clock face. This one is more visually interesting than the unmarked disk reverse side. Thank you, Ted P.

another try android rooting
by Info 09 Dec '15

Hi, I had been recommended to ask this list for advice. but perhaps i didn't explain it properly. I have android phone (flashed not rooted, samsung mega) and an android tablet (rca) I would like to know IF anyone is familiar with rooting these so i can get google out of my phones, and use another 'market' for my apps. I've used a fabulous market once on a unlocked phone from china but it was gsm and would not work where i live in the sticks so i had to go back to cdma network. IS there anyone out there who has the knowhow to do this for me and if so could you contact me directly? Of course, i'm not asking this to be done for free. if that is allowed that be great. I live 45 min from town so im never there in the evenings but i would bring it to town if someone could help me 'lobodomize' them. I also need to upgrade my linux mint to a more recent version I"m told. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a Million! Jena 501 -8083 -- Securely sent from Linux Mint OS ----

NMGLUGers, I plan to get to the meeting on the 10th. I don't have any issues myself, but there may be a question about converting a tablet to Linux from Android. Not my stuff, I still don't think a tablet worth the investment, as I have a netbook. I did see the DRM-Free selection list from the Free Software Foundation. I am not too likely to buy hardware just now anyway. I did find a site: Libiquity dot com, which offers almost fully free hardware. The limit is in some part of the hardware drivers or limits. Really odd that the proprietary "holdup" seems insurmountable. See you Thursday. Ted P.
