Yes, they are open Saturdays. The guy that runs the showroom, Ed, seems like a grouch but is really quite nice. The guy to catch is Brian, from the back room (not the Brian in their repair shop). I don't know if he is there on Saturdays. But just introduce yourself to Ed as a member of TCLUG and interested in just getting quality Linux demos before the public. They were doubtful of my effort at first so they only allowed me a (very nice) IBM Pentium 2 with only 64 meg of Ram and only a 4.5 gig HDD temporarily hooked into a nice Dell monitor. But the install went so well and there was so much interest that if they don't expand the Linux demos they are poor businessmen. The money saved on Window$ software will buy most any of their computers. They will need help doing some good installs. Any store will do. If the public has a chance to see Linux, it will fly. Thank you for your interest and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: Munir Nassar [SMTP:nassarmu at redconcepts.net] Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 8:46 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Linux installed at Midwest Electronics showroom On Friday 04 January 2002 01:09 pm, you wrote: <Snipped stuff> > Since Minneapolis (etc.) is quite a trek, I can only hope they can keep > the system alive.
