Since I never made it beyond E-6, I doubt that there will be hundreds of
people in line.
And despite the rumors, I have no reason to believe Angelina Jolie will
be there.
I don't expect Tampa Tribune computer columnist Doug Stanley to show up,
either. In an email reply to a pitch from Prentice Hall publicist
Heather Fox, he wrote "I am indeed familiar with Slashdot and Robin
Miller, but the subject matter doesn't fit with the interests of people
who read the column. In over five years, I have never received a
question or comment about Linux from a reader...."
Despite the likely lack of Doug Stanley's's presence, I'll have
autograph-signing pens with me. And a digital camera. And a more
beautiful woman than Angelina Jolie, namely my wife, Debbie. :)
