We, myself and two potential new SLUG members, were in the room with the big
bay windows from 12:00 to 2:30.

I presented linux as best as possible.

The two potential newbies were most impressed by:

my laptop running Mandrake 10.1

and

the fact that nobody showed up.

The last was most important as they were most concerned where they could get
help is things got difficult.

When I explained that the only possible help in the Tampa Bay area was the
linux meeting they were NOT very favorable impressed. They were even much
less impressed when there was NO attendance at the meeting.
