     I'm speaking at LAID on Saturday, and it would be really helpful to
me 
     if I could just get a rough idea of the amount of non-technical
Linux 
     users who are out there. Please could you mail me (off-list if you 
     prefer) if you are, or know of, anyone who uses Linux as part of
their 
     work *and* has no technical knowledge of the system - a pure 'User'
in 
     other words. Please mail me if you consider yourself a Linux 'User' 
     and not a Linux 'Developer'. I'm looking for people who (for
example) 
     wouldn't know what to do with the command-line, work entirely in
GUI 
     etc etc. Granted, such people are probably not members of these
lists, 
     but if you know of such users, please let me know. I'm not
interested 
     in contacting any of them, I just want a (very approximate) idea of 
     numbers.
     
     Thanks for your time,
     Ian Swainson
     
     PS. I have posted this to both the ILUG and the CLUG. My apologies
to 
     those on both lists who get this twice...
