Hi Danny,
Actually, I do show up in sandals - but no socks because the presentation 
values are different in this business sector. IMHO www.linux.org.il isn't 
about selling to big accounts. Big accounts buy from other big accounts, 
not from .org's anyway. The site has to serve the community - which wears 
sandals and T-shirts.
