[SoaS] InfoTech Report and link to Photos

[Thomas C Gilliard]

Caryl;

The Pictures are great!

I have been fighting Windows 7 and liveusb-creator on my new acer aspire 
one net-book.
I have always used it in fedora linux before where it is dead simple to 
use....

Now I understand your frustrations a little better.

Congratulations and thanks.

Everything was free... even parking and a great lunch!  They said there were about 4000 people there including kids.

A couple of teachers who stopped by were very interested in trying it and may help us work on the Grannies Guide. I will keep working on it myself in the next couple of weeks.
