I do admit that I forgot to ask Scott to show the POS demo during the
Enterprise presentation, though I don't remember if he was in the room
at the time.  In any case, turnout was incredibly poor and by that time
people were leaving, almost nobody left in the audience. =(

I think Scott was showing the POS interface to some folks on the demo
machines outside the presentation room.  I didn't get a chance to ask
how that went.

Overall I'm afraid the entire day was mainly preaching to the choir. 
Almost everyone that showed up already used Linux.  We made a few new
good contacts and list subscribers, and a few new converts too... but
I'm afraid CompUSA wouldn't do that again unless we can guarantee a much
larger turnout.
