I actually did attend that computer fest as well. Like Mr. McGregor I
had also taken the TTC to the computer show, which from Mississauga
took a good 45 minutes in 5.30pm traffic. Not to bad. I actually had
no plans on buying anything at that show, seeing some good deals. But
I came across this old book booth, many of you probably stopped by
since it was one of 2 or 3 book booths there. I picked up the book
"The Linux Cookbook" for 15 bucks.

Overall I have to say that future years had been a bigger success for
compufest. I actually talked to some people that had said there were
troubles with the owners, that had lead to the poor show this year. I
didn't get the full story, but it seems as if the owners had gone
their own ways. One still running compufest. What a shame.
