Maybe at PLUG presentations there should be an effort to at least boot the
presentation PC off Knoptix? Advocacy and perception, right?


YES ABSOLUTLY! Just picture this like you are raising money for your kid's
school and get every one to at least take a look! They may like it!

Be a capitalist just like the worlds best... When they are down licking
there wounds lets go on the offensive and drive it! This is the time to
build in roads! Go to work build a box and implement it somewhere even your
own desk.

Just do it! We are the professionals. We are the ones in touch. We have a
good product and the competition don't. Let's join the battle and cease the
moment!
