33 We had a lot of help on the day from people who were not involved with the planning, and need a way of addressing this on the way.

35 People were in general happy to receive the software. One lady was on her way to buy a commercial Office package, and is very happy that we "saved her $250". Overall, the helpers were very happy with the response from the audience.

37 The difference between [Free] and [free] wasn't well defined on the display; next time we should pay more attention. We also were unable to have an XGL display; this wasn't a huge concern because the technology to give it to people on a CD isn't quite ready.
