Release 6pre1: Milpitas, 15 July 1999
This was a small one, just me and Bruce Benson and Rob Walker going
out the night after a VA Linux Systems board meeting I'd flown out
for. By common consent, the high point of the evening was me ripping
a single two-inch hole in the ten-zone of a silhouette target with
ten rounds from a .45 -- bench-rested from about eighteen feet, so it
wasn't quite the feat you might think at first, but it was still a
damn tight group. I had a big silly grin on my face after that one.
Bruce named it 6pre1 after the fact because it was sort of a run-up to
the LinuxWorld GWG. We talked to the Milpitas guys about reserving
their range for a thundering herd of geeks come August...
