I am just curious are they selling computer parts there?? Or is
it an auction or something similar? Let me know....Depending on
if I have to work I might be able to bring my box as long as no
modifications are made to it...for showing people what Linux has
to offer I have 3 Nice WM's installed they would like (KDE,
Afterstep, Windowmaker, MWM) It all depends on my work schedule
though....Let me know
