Well Yair has told that it will cost about $1600 = 4800NIS
48 people will have to donate....I don't think that's realistic
(BTW question: how many subscribers linux-il has?)
Look I personaly can donate such a sum, because I think it will be really
great if Linux comunity will be presented on this show, but like I had
told in my previous message $1600 is very big ammount of money, although
the idea is perfect.

100% right, at least some people will leave the buggy windows and move to
the TRUE operating system
P.S. May be I'm wrong about collecting the cash, may be we'll find 48
people - I just have no idea how many Linux users has this country.
