Oh, I don't think we would do installs/conversions on presentation day, 
as most people wouldn't have brought their machine then anyway.  But
we should at least let them know where they can go next if they want
some "professional" help in switching over, as well as some options
they'll feel comfortable with.

(I think that many people might feel more comfortable/legitimate
paying to have their system converted to Linux than they would with 
having it done for free by a bunch of hackers/geeks with mysterious
motives and evangelistic purposes.)
