Re: Computax '98 (+thanks)
I don't know about half ;)
but I think that maybe people here will contribute to this goal.
At least I will. 50 shekels, let's say from everyone here, and you'll
get your half (or more).
Those numbers you talked about before, are too high for me,as a
student, and I blieve, for many other as well. but I do want to see linux
booth in Computax '98.
I think it should be a common interest for all of us, so as far as I
concern, just tell me where to send it.
