Marketing, Marketing, Marketing, I don't know how much more I can say about Blue Star Marketing (BS-M). I went to one of the shows about 8 years ago, it was like a flee market with PC's. No, a flee market has some good deals, this is more like a traveling carnival. People were sucking up everything the barkers said. I don't think being associated with BS-M would be good for TCLUG. If I were more paranoid I'd say M$ is paying BS-M, to make the LUG's look like all the other carnies. Linux has come from the basement to the fore front of technology in the last few years. * I think being part of BS-M's "Supercomputer Sale" would make TCLUG look bad. Sam.

We are holding the Super Computer Sale at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds July 9-11, 2004. In the cities we go to we provide booth space for local computer user groups. The purpose is two-fold, to provide an "Answer Booth" for the attendees of the sale and so the user group can promote their organization. > >Since the TCLUG is located in the area, we would like to offer your club free space at the Super Computer Sale next weekend at the State Fairgrounds. To find out more information about the Super Computer Sale go to www.supercomputersale.com or give me a call.
