We had a great time today at the Belton Bi-Annual Hamfest.
The rain came, but so did the cool and the breeze..  It was nice ..
It was also nice to be indoors!

Picked up some goodies, and gave away a few too !

I made about 50 copies of DSL with full /optional directories ..
We handed out a dozen or so to interested folks, and left stacks
at the entrances with signs that read

"DSL Bootable Linux OS CD"     FREE !   _  TAKE ONE !
Hard to resist when it says "free" ...

We tried out several DSL CD's at the booths that were selling laptops ..
My sons tell me I had quite a crowd behind me watching DSL in action !! ..


We scarfed up some goodies as well..
Sherri ( My "Bride" for the last 16 yrs. )  picked up a nice laptop for $200.00
A P3-800MHz w/ 10G HD /DVD /ETH0 /modem /sound /14"LCD /128MB


Very clean box... and best of all,
It runs DamnSmall nicely !



Donald picked up some Maxtor 20GB HD's for $20.00 ..


Timothy picked up a HP palm for a few bucks ..


And all I got was this DamnSmall hat !  :)


and I got a cheap 64MB stick of so-dimm for my Compaq 233 laptop ..
from 32MB to 96MB !!  Yowza !

About all the fun you could have for half a day at a $1.00 a head admission..
I saw a bunch of friends and contesters who I've known for many years ..
I look forward to next spring's hamfest ..

If only ONE person responds to our DSL CD effort, it was worth it ..

Hey, great looking family Kent!

That sounds like a very good time (what a deal on the laptop), and I really like the hat!

Curious, was the crowd very Linux friendly?

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.

Cool! You definetely make a great ambassador for DSL. Me, I keep reccomending DSL to folks and messing with it on my boxen. Still running the hdd installed (0.73) which is still a bit whacky.
