  I'm not very good at it either.

  Agreed.

  I'd say "no" to that -- mom-and-pop use whatever came bundled with the
computer their son-in-law setup for them; it is too soon still for somebody
like Ximian to be targeting them.

  Fortunately, we would not have to do much.  As long as we let Ximian know
our plans, and they are okay with them, they can do all the dirty work.  
All we have to do is get people's attention.  For that, we should contact
local business groups.  Chambers of commerce, town offices, and so on.  
That Nashua software group we've had dealings with in the past (GNSEG ??)
would be good.

  However, for *that*, we do not have sufficient lead time.  We would need
two months, minimum, I would think.
