Something I would be curious about, what percentage of
people would show up at an event like this with a
laptop vs. a conventional desktop PC? I suspect the
laptop users will care more about transit times (by
car or TTC) than about how car friendly a place is.
Also, would the laptop / desktop mix change noticeably
in a downtown location vs. a suburban location? In
other words doing this event in car friendly locations
is very important I don't think it is the whole story
and some of these events should be run in TTC friendly
locations...
