I started the trip by flying into NYC on Tuesday at 6pm.
I flew back into Phoenix at 3:40am after a long Friday in NYC.
[ First Class rocks! ]
Let me start off by saying I had to buy a new suitcase to bring back
all of my hard earned Linux booty.
I looted so many T-shirts I won't have to do any laundry for weeks.
I have enuff CDROMs to give away thet everyone better show up
for the next PLUG meeting or you will miss out.
I am working on getting LinuxStore T-shirts to hand out as well.
I got free copies of QuakeIII,Applix 5.x, Caldera e-server,
CA-Unicenter, and more to evaluate in Linux.
If you want to try something out, bring a machine to the meeting
and I/we can install on the spot.
I will make sure I bring as much as I can carry but the eval copies
will not be given away since I only have one of each.
When I get my picture of me with Alan Cox developed I will put it on
my WWW page to brag about. Two of the FreeBSD booth babes posed for
a shot with me ( the wife is not happy ) and I will also have my Linux
license plate to show off....hehehe
I bumped into Linus in a crowd and was about to give hime some
verbal abuse until I realized who I ran into.
FWIW he is a lot shorter in person.
IBM,SGI,Dell,Compaq,and Alpha were the big players that helped to
show the legitimacy of Linux. CNBC came out and broadcast from the
Javits center for 2 days.
I'm sure I left some stuff out so if anyone has any questions just ask.
My preference would be to keep thi on list since it is Linux related.
