I think that people who are insterested enough in computers that they they go to these shows, are exactly the type of people who might be interested in trying Linux. Or they may have even tried it on their own, and not know that there is a local group. So I think that it would be definitely worthhile to group to go to the show. With that said, I can't make it to the show, so I am not exactly putting my money where my mouth is on this one ;). -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |Dmitry's free,Jon's next? http://faircopyright.org _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
