I just had an obnoxious idea (and one that might get me hollered at) We
could ask one or more of the local businesses to bring some stock so
people can take a look at new terminals, keyboards, etc. and purchase
what is wanted/needed on the spot.

(and to take thing to the eXtreem ;-) we could also invite a M$ rep to
try to sell us on XP 8-0  Just kidding...

  really 8-)
