A+ Prep - was Potential PLUG Presentation?

[Bart Garst]

The A+ prep class is a PC Hardware class that prepares students for the
CompTIA A+ certification tests. A+ cert is all about the "nuts and
bolts" of Windows/MSDOS. 

Not sure why the instructor would want to do a Linux presentation for
this class since there's no mention of Linux on the tests.
