I get what your saying here....get peeps from local gvmt and the chamber of
commerce etc, and invite them down for a free demo of what Linux can do for
thier buisness. Nice idea!

We can put on slick demos of database/web/application servers, plus desktops,
user apps (KMail, Konqueror, Abiword, Staroffice, KOffice) etc. See for
ourselves what the reactions/objects are.

Then knock 'em dead with the cost: 60-odd quit for your entire organisation.

We can't force 'em to see sense, but we can show them the light!

Jim
