Anything else useful?

In past years, several thousand booth visitors; I don't
recall how
many liveCDs I sold two years ago, but 'a lot'- a couple
hundred,
IIRC? I can try to look it up sometime later- not today,
though.

Note, though, that LWE is a wounded beast, AFAICT; floor
traffic was
down substantially during the second year in Boston, and I
imagine the
same is true in San Fran. So my numbers may not be as valid
anymore.

rPath always has a booth, and we have noticed a major
slowdown the
past couple shows.  Not only Boston, by SF was slower too. 
We will
just hope this year is better :-D
