Ppl&Computers were very generous, honestly. The fact that their
generosity didn't serve us optimally, should make US thinking where
we failed. The fact that their gift was not used efficiently, was
OUR fault (yes, mine too, for not being available to help). But
nothing to do with them; They only tried to help (and please no
jokes about the money they made out of the exhibition; It doesn't
make their charity negative). If we want bodies like them to help
us, we must be grateful.

A third (1/3) booth (booth 29, which will be shared also by "Start-
Up World" and "Internet World"). Like Ppl&Computers, the plans
always start with big ambitions (a whole booth), continues with half
or third booth (in the invitations), and end with one or two small
companies (including IGLU) exhibiting for the last day (the first
and second are spent usually for installing and setting up the
computers ;-).

Linux World is the typical boastful terminology of Ppl&Computers,
that Stier learned very well; Don't tell me that it is the first
time you face it...

Ha! Again, their terminology! Next time please do your homework
before; There will not be any 'company called "LinuxCom"'. All they
wrote was that there will be "Hadgamat Yisumim BiSvivat Linux", free
for all. They didn't write who would demonstrate, but as one who is
already expected to understand their terminology, you should
understand that the Linux exhibitors will demonstrate Linux apps;
What do you expect IGLU/PF1/Aduva to demonstrate, MS-Office ?!
If you don't believe, read the following line: "HaHadgamot BeVitan
29, 'Olam-HaLinux'". Of course, did you expect the exhibitors in
"Olam-HaLinux" to demonstrate Internet Explorer ?!
Yes, the title says "LinuxCOM", but nobody wrote that it is a
company; It's only their terminology.

What a mix; It is not about Computax, but about Comdex (planned for
September).
Anyway, don't be so optimistic; It is not a rumor, but only an
official announcement of Ppl&Computers, which means that there are
20%-30% chances to happen! Believe only in rumors, not in
announcements (otherwise, you will be amazed again to find that the
whole "Linux World Booth" became a small 2*3 meters booth of one
small company).
