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.
