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.
