Just to repeat...  Hey, I'm in, in fact I'll gladly do a good bit of the
work to get it going.  I have plenty of time on my hands considering I'm
out of a job at the moment, I'm looking but no leads yet (at least I've
had a decent vacation for once <grin>). :|

Actually, I think it'd be better to have Demo Day's every couple of
months or so.  Things could be planned out about a month ahead and then
everything gotten ready a week before.  Maybe we could get a group
together to do this, maybe call it the NTLUG Demo Crew ...... or
something?  It's an idea anyway, it'd be fun too. :)
