[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux Demo Day

[Carter B. Bennett]

Hi all,
Just got off the phone with Brian Finley with VA Research
and he wants to send me one maybe two systems. I don't 
want him to do this unless I can stirr up at least 10 people
for Sat. & Sun. 

If I don't get a positive response from at least 10 people
by tomorrow 11:00AM it will be a dead deal.

 If you are in, email me with your phone number so I can
 get back to you with times and meeting place.

You may be able to kill two birds with one stone, but, in the end when it's
all over, all you really have are two dead birds, and your short one stone.
