I'm sure most of us will stay all day, but we need at least 4 people
(besides me, steven, and jason) at the tables at *all* times.  Please
sign up for the following slots. I'd like to see each LUCI participant
there at *least* an hour. Thanks.

It will be a mad house. Best Buy on Saturday is NUTS!!!

We're focusing on introducing new users to Linux, and proving Linux on the
common desktop. Therefore, we're showing of eyecandy!

Here's what I want there (Jason, please correct/add, etc to this):

Here's what (I know) we have:

The IBM Intellistation.
My VA Linux Systems Box
My 466mhz laptop
The Netwinder (strong arm box.. eyecandy)
A very very slow Alpha

Here's what we need:

A Mac
A couple more really nice Intel boxes with LOTS of Ram. A DUAL machine
(poke poke Lee) would be fun.
Possibly a single alternative platform, such as a really bitchin Alpha,
simply for Eye Candy.

If anyone has interesting stuff to show, like interfacing with Quick Cams,
Digital Cameras, Palm Pilots, cool stuff like that lemme know.  I bet
Jeff's Happy Hacker Keyboard would be fun, and perhaps pull together all
you guy's X10 appliance plugs together and have some lamp fun or
something.. Time a light display or something ;)

Possibilities are endless ;) Sorry for jumping in out of the middle of
nowhere, but I beleive Jason has some internet problems at the moment, and
I wanted to let you guys know what's going on, and get this stuff
scheduled :)

Our event was announced on the Linux Show last night.. and we've got a lot
of interested for being hosted at Best Buy :)
