[ale] ale-NW bash presentation: need copies...

[aaron]

David:
  Based on all the work you are putting into this bash programming 
presentation, 40 copies of the "book" may not be enough: I know it's 
convinced me to make the trip to attend my first ALE NW meeting!

I have a suggestion for addressing your challenge of sharing the 
documentation without paying for the logging of a small forest:
   What about just printing 1 set of transparencies for the meeting and 
show them with a second, seperate Over Head projector...  perhaps get a 
volunteer to assist with the Vanna White thing (high heels and blonde wig 
optional, of course).
   As suggested earlier, also make the handout materials avialable on 
line a few days before the presentation. That way anyone interested can 
review them and decide for themselves if they want go to the expenses of 
creating a hard copy for the meeting and future reference.
  Even if the transparencies cost $0.50 a page to produce, your costs 
would be <$20.00. People at the meeting would still have the benefit of 
seeing the complete docs while several dozen pine trees breath a heavily 
oxygenated sigh of relief.

Hope the ideas help! Looking forward to the 20th!

peace
aaron
