having never been to a Hoss Traders event before, I now understand. I agree
with the no TurboLinux idea.
As for the Cd's to sell, it is probably a moot point at this time as my
schedule does not permit me to deliver the CD's at all anywhere this

exceptions or find a way, but this just happens to be one of those moments,
and it isn't a Kodak moment.
