I just had a look at their web site and the type of product they are
offering would not interest the majority of the SLUG meeting attendees.
I don't think it would be of benefit advertising-wise to Magic Software
even. I think that this could be politely pointecout to them that the
SLUG meeting would not be really good for either party. A venue chosen
by them with an invitation to SLUGers who are interested, and anyone
else they care to invite, would attract those that have a genuine need
and interest in their products.
I'd so nicely - no.
