I agree.  If we only had 3 boxes, people would wonder why more people
aren't showing it off if it's so great.  If/when we were to have a new
installfest, it would be great if everybody who could would bring their
box... for no other reason than just to show it off.  I mean, everybody
does *something* unique with their box, right?  So show it off!  That's
how we'll convert people -- just by showing that there are large numbers
of people who can do everything and more than they can in Linux than in
Windows.
