Ray was going to do May, so that would give us April. Is there an 
interest in pursuing any of these distros again?  Seems Xandros saw it 
fit to send me a boxed set of there deluxe version, so if there's 
interest in Xandros, I could bring a box pre-installed and we could take 
an indepth look at Xandros, along with a door prize of the deluxe boxed 
set?  If we go this route, we could go through the normal steps a user 
would go through in configuring/using the system.  (network setup, 
locating software, adding desktop launchers).

Anyone?

I like this idea.  If there are any women on the list who have a 
specific interest for a presentation, either post to the list, or send 
me private email and we'll see what we can come up with.
