[olug] OT: gotomeeting

[Chad Homan]

Personally I seem to like yugma (in lieu of g2m), although I heard of many
others that support the big 3 as well.

Unfortunately in this situation I am more of a participant than the
presenter.  So I must us g2m, that is until I
persuade that to use something else (eg yugma)
