One of the primary Curta nerds (Greg Saville) is a local. I had an open
tab from his website for years.  I've thought about trying to recruit
him to give a PLUG talk, on the theory that anything that interests me
is an awesome PLUG talk. I may have even reached out to him before, but
if I did, I don't remember a reply.
