Meeting #43 Digest

General

A happy Birthday to our illustrious leader.  To mark this landmark event Sean's mother-in-law created a very special cake.  If you were thinking that it was a Palm you would have been correct.  In fact the creator of this masterpiece actually topped herself by creating a second more detailed cake for the Wednesday meeting.  This cake was in the shape of a Palm M505 and was detailed down to the application icons and time on the screen.  Not only did the cake look fantastic, but it was very tasty.
