This is a nondestructive way to test out Ubuntu Linux before you decide to install. It makes no changes to your system. Discussion can also include dual-boot options and the Windows option to install the Ubuntu operating system as if it were a regular app that you lunch like any other app? I can bring several copies of the bootable CD and a thumb drive or two so people can try this out on their laptops. John Hughes jlhughes at gmail dot com Presentation idea:

I presently use a program called Stylizer http://www.skybound.ca , which edits CSS like a spreadsheet with immediate visual feedback via Firefox or Internet Explorer. What you see is literally what you get. http://clubneko.net is my site, http://stocktonyoga.com/wp/ is a site under construction for a local yoga center http://testing.theangrypharmacist.com/ is a site under construction (though no graphics have been altered yet, most of the photography has been done). I also know HDR photography. http://flickr.com/photos/saintneko and could give a talk/demonstration on the various tricks and techniques (even as it relates to light microscopy).
