We may LIKE some more chairs, BUT we only have 100 sq. feet to play with (a
10 foot x 10 foot booth), and by the time the two tables, the backdrop (with
it's two PCs/ monitors, etc., etc.) are put in, there just is not enough
space for 6 chairs.

Have another look at the booth layout at:

   http://www.learn.ca/tlug/index.html

I put down bits of masking tape to mark off a 10' x 10' square...

My take on this is that we want to encourage people to come into the booth
and talk to the volunteers there, and to encourage people to come into the
booth we want free space, not a wall of tables and/or chairs. So, we want a
fair bit of empty space... I am open to suggestions, but I think 2 chairs is
about all we have room for and still have space to encourage people to come
in and talk to us.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that Monday or Tuesday I will get those CDs.
Word from Leah Cunningham is that she thinks she will be able to get some
goodies from Novell to give away.
