mentioning having done so.  Hi there!]

[much about coverage of Linux that should have existed, but didn't]

The question was whether local Linux users have any particular
reason to show up and watch the broadcast of Cringely's PBS show.
I simply haven't heard an answer (not counting "an AIP member wants 
a large turnout for his group").

Not to mention the boneheaded choice of airing dates.  I admire Cringely
greatly, but:  Miss the concluding episode of B5, after five years of
anticipation?  I really don't think so.
