However, there are certain conferences this probably should be done for, Comdex, etc. However, USENIX and BSDCon , etc, do *not* need the Booth Babes, as FreeBSD and BSD in general stands on its own. As the little throngs of young NYLUG members told me "We don;t care about BSD, we just want our pictures taken with *them*", which tells me it really didn't exactly have the desired effects. Did it attract people to near the booth? Yes. Did they stick around to ask questions? No. HOWEVER, giving out CD's did cause people to come talk to us. I know for a fact Marc was just not handing them over, but asking them if they planned on installing it, etc. Still people know who we are now, if anything =) > > Forget the penguin, forget jhk, look only at the devils :-) > For the last time , its Daemon!
