I wouldn't mind setting one up in downtown YYZ, perhaps overlooking YTZ in the sunset?

Perhaps Air Canada upgraded to Windows 3.1

Would require a hardware upgrade at AC. Don't think it'll get approved.

There's nothing stopping someone from just organizing a Do, right?

Your incredible generosity has always been grearly appreciated but never mandatory
Unfortunately I have never been to a Dorian DO.

AC should just get off Microsoft stuff all together, bunch of junk.

at your pun, but whether or not I was mistaken on the timing of the last Do, I think the general point stands - back in, say, 2014-16, the AC board used to have lots of Dos. Now, we have very few. I found they were a nice opportunity to put faces to names/handles and an opportunity to iron out some of our differences in person Also, I have become terrible at e-mailing with people (hi @24left and @yyznomad, among others), so catching up in person might be nice

The ones I attended were each epic in their own way and the ones in YYJ, YYC and YVR were well worth the travel.

No worries. That would be great.

Sweet. So now we can quote AC and send them big farty stickers.

I understood the gist of what you meant (and I agree); just sending a playful jab.

I had been talking to @RangerNS about a YHZ do (at the axe throwing bar) for this spring, but my weekends have been crazy all spring.

Can I assume that a summer Do is more difficult to get people to commit to??

They have CPUs that support protected mode? 3.0 is enough for them.
