[The CASE involvement and their expertise implies Canberra could almost

From an email from CASE's Darrell Burkey <dazza@tucan.net> in early October
2001:

"I wrote to Computerbank years ago but can't remember the context. I think
it was when they were considering an office in Sydney and I thought it
would be a good opportunity for us to possibly share facilities/cost.

"CASE and Volunteering ACT are establishing a Community Technology Centre
here in Canberra and have plans to offer such services. We would much
rather support your work in any way that we can as CASE is an IT
cooperative designed to support and enhance the use of IT in
non-profit/community groups. See http://www.case.org.au for more info."

Hope that helps link up you NSW/ACT dudes a bit?  :-)

Regards, Bruce
