And you are all thinking...

"Why in the world would you get 50!?"

Well, just to let you all know, they were gone in less than an hour.
I work at IBM as an engineer and I went to everyone I knew and to people I didnt know and handed them out. And let me tell you, when some people got the CD, they went crazy!

"Oh wow Ubuntu!!! Thanks!"
"This is exactly what I needed today, thanks a lot!"
"I already have the CDs burnt, but I don't have the official ones, can I have it anyways?"
"uhh?? ok?"

Hah, it was a fun first hour here at work today!

Keep up the good work everyone!!

Very cool to hear.
It makes me remember my class (students of Digital Communication). It isn't a die-hard ICT study but I was the only one spinning Ubuntu and there were two other guys with an iBook and a Powerbook. And knowing that there were 200 students that year diveded in several classes... :(

I got my 15disc combo in last week.
10 32bit, 3 64bit, 2 PPC.
I got many people I am working to get to switch over to linux.
The live disc make it easier to let them view Ubuntu before deciding to install it.
Cheers,
Joey
