My thoughts exactly. I imagine the core selling points would be the low cost, availability of any and all types of applications, and other tangible supporting factors. Technical bonuses would have to take a backseat - after all, relatively few people care about being able to hack their software. > There is also the possiblity of getting High School kids involved, > maybe that is where you hold the meetings.

(I was actually motivated to try this after talking to some of my friends still in high school.) > Last suggestion: How's KLUG sound.
