Well, how many people have pestered you for an Itsy? I seem to
remember you at least year's Linux Expo in Raleigh, bloodied and
beaten, using the last of your strength to fight off the maddened
hordes trying to get that Itsy out of your shirt pocket.
Ask Deborah Wallach, who's most recently been in charge of telling
people "No, YOU can't get an Itsy either. Nobody can -- we're not
selling them. Now go away or I will taunt you again."
Get the iPaq marketing department to include a little one-sheet
description of Linux-on-iPaq, and include it with a custom URL that's
only published on that sheet. See how many people visit it.
Work with Harold Hickey, or anybody else who wants to test the
market. You don't need to give him anything special, just put him in
contact with the Compaq people who supply resellers.
Publish obviously incorrect instructions on how to install Linux on an
iPaq, along with an email address for asking questions. See how many
people ask.
