I have often displayed, prepared with various options, including amarok with visualisations, or a video, or some simple how to's about updates etc. However, the most interest is often when I happen to be messing around in the file managers explaining to someone and doing something or another. I think people are interested in a real (live) situation, and the context of a real person with a word or two is easier to grasp (and more fun) than watching a demo file, probably aimed at a different context. This is similar to what I find for myself when I am wandering past exhibitions. I will often eavesdrop into a demo or conversation, rather than stand and look at a demo playing - which is often aimed at somebody else's situation. hth -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
