  This concerns me more then the morning.  Not that I'm a morning person by
any stretch of the imagination, but I can do it if I have to.  But I'm not
sure it's worth $210 just to go there and tell people they should use Linux.  
Most people at those shows just want to buy stuff cheap.  It doesn't strike
me as a good environment for education/evangelism.

  Of course, I'm a pessimist, so maybe listening to me isn't a good idea.  
In fact, it probably isn't.  (Did I mention I'm a pessimist?  :-)  )

  If you do decide you want to go through with it, and could use another
warm body, I'll still be happy to volunteer.

Sounds interesting.  I do not have anything to sell, but I might go just 
to check it out.  I'd be happy to extoll the virtues with you :-)

btw, I think you meant Sept. 18th -- that is the date they list for 
Rockingham Park Track in Salem, NH http://www.ncshows.com/showcoupon.htm

You are right, it is September 18th, not the 28th.  But how could it be
a GNHLUG event without at least one wrong date being mentioned?

I also note from the show guide that those who have stuff to sell and set up
have to be there at 0730 hours (someone once told me that there was a 7:30
in the *morning* as well as at night) and no one will be allowed to set up
after 0845 hours.

AND the two tables will cost $200 + $10. for electricity.a lot more
expensive than Hoss Traders.  (sigh)

The more moral support we get, the better.
