Remember this is for non tech people and non programmers. What I have so
far:
Hello, my name is Michael L. Richardson. I am President of NYLXS, INC..
NYLXS is dedicated to promoting Free Software (FREE AS IN FREEDOM NOT PRICE)
in the New York area.
If you are using Microsoft Windows and are happy with an operating system
where all you have to do is point click and pray (that it does not lock up
or freeze the entire machine), lends itself to viruses (viruses are not
normal), AND REQUIRES NO THOUGHT ON YOUR PART. STOP THIS CD, DVD OT TAPE
RIGHT NOW. TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR MACHINE AND TROW IT AWAY!!! WHAT FOLLOWS
WILL BE OF NO USE TO YOU.
This demo will cover the following topics.
1. What is Free Software?

3. What is NYLXS, INC.?
4. What is a GNU/LINUX DISTRIBUTION?
5. Free Software and the PC
6. Free software and the Mac.

Awesome! Is this open for participation? I'd love to get Ruben's ideas
on there and I wouldn't mind getting a little air time myself. In fact,
I think we have quite a few personalities that would complement the
overall project.

"Yes, Your Honor. Now, where we are so far, in at least my
line of reasoning, is I want to walk the Court through enough of our
complaint to help the Court understand that IBM clearly did contribute a
lot of the Unix-related information into Linux. We just don't know what
it is."
