In retrospect, a big sign saying LINUX on CD ONLY $XX would have been
a good idea...

Erez - maybe if you beg digital enough they might help dig us out of
this mess?

Also, Ira, I still owe you my contribution.  I can raise it from
150nis to 200nis.

Absolutely.  Shall we have our 1 and only group bylaw:

   To exhibit at a show, notice *must* be given to the entire group
   within 8 weeks prior to the start of the show.

 > B. FULL sponsorship next time, I can't aford losing 5000 NIS on this...

Make that *two* bylaws.  Here's the second:

   To exhibit at a show, the money to cover *all* costs (booth, phone
   lines, etc.) *must* be raised within 4 weeks prior to the start of
   the show.

After wrestling with Alpha's for 2 days, here's a third:

   All equipment on display at the show must be delivered with Linux &
   X installed and running.  If you'd like to display hardware on
   which linux has not yet been installed, you *must* contact the user's
   group for information on precisely what hardware configurations are
   supported at least 3 weeks prior to the start of the show.  If
   you'd like us to help you get linux running on the machine, we
   *must* be notified at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the show,
   and *must* be given access to the equipment at that time.

Maybe a good idea...

Evgeny - can you put something like the following on your plasma-gate
Linux page?

      Linux on CD is now available in Israel!!!
      The Linux users group made a large purchase of Linux CDs.
      Buying from us helps to support the Linux in Israel, and gets
      you Linux *fast*.

      For a CD with Slackware xxx, RedHat yyy, ..., send a check for
      $zzz to:

         Ira Abramov
         .....

How about anyone else?
