One good thing from the show, I bumped into 'maddog' Hall and asked him if
he was going to be around Poughkeepsie
any time in the future. He said that come spring he would probably come
through and may be willing to talk for the lug.
He is not a fan of the 4 degree temperature outside =)

I certainly agree with the worse and worse, but I did actually find
one useful feature of the show. I talked with all of the terminal
server vendors as well as the IBM CSM people, I've been using MRV's
InReach terminal servers which CSM is now using. The dot.org section
has been shrinking year by year which is a disappointment and a lot of
the small companies have disappeared. I felt that after 4 hours I was
wasting my time. I've always felt that Linux World was more of a
'trade show' and I rather go to a decent conference.
