I'm quite familiar with TIES since my school district is a TIES member and I work with them often in my role as a Technology Director. In fact, I'll be there this afternoon for a meeting. Their space is very conducive to a large group meeting like TCLUG: plentiful parking, easy location, fat pipe, etc. Just because TIES is in the education business doesn't imply that they only work with student groups. They're a large ISP and technical services organization so they've got a lot of geeks around there. I suspect the willingness to host TCLUG events is driven by that group. -Tim -- Tim Wilson, The Savvy Technologist Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Educational technology guy, Linux and OS X fan, Grad. student, Daddy mailto: wilson at visi.com aim: tis270 blog and podcast: http://technosavvy.org
