/*
** Breaking space is a fun thing to use here. The dokuwiki method is
** to use two '\' characters, followed by a single space to create the 
** newline without converting it to a new paragraph. This can only be 
** used at the end of a line.
**
** Ordered or unordered lists are two apaces at the beginning of the 
** line, followed by a '*' for unordered or '-' for ordered.
**
** deeper indentation for indented lists

__Topics__

  - Scott Murphy will give a talk/demonstration of using a greaseweazel for floppy data recovery.
    - We had a somewhat recent list discussion on recovering data from floppy disks that realistically do not have current support or hardware. 
    - The talk will be an absolute beginner's attempt to recover some of that data and by "beginner's attempt", it means I have not previously attempted to read "foreign" diskettes from 40+ years ago, so this is a brand new thing for me to try.
  - John Nash has a short talk on the annual burden of tax filing, PDFs, and using pdftk. A usual, there are unanticipated challenges with even what appears to be the simplest of things.
  - JF Messier may have an item to discuss as well. Assuming we have not run out the clock at this point.
