I am now waiting on Nik to get back to us when the next fair is.

Nik & I have said for ages that non-technical people are the best for
selling Linux to the general public.  Non-techies can always say "If I
changed so can you."  

Well I suppose that us techies can say that to but it just doesn't sound
as convincing.

I would also encourage that you bring your system with you if you use it
to do something demostrably cool.  I use mine for coding mostly.  While
I think that is cool it isn't a good demo.

If Gavin was to come along with a keyboard hooked so he could play the
keyboard and the computer wrote out the music score that would be cool.
There is a system being demostrably useful and without having to spend
$$$$ on software.
