Your product was quite well received. I started out by booting a 
fully working version and then telling the room that I was going to 
go out on a limb and not show them the version I brought from 
home. Then, I proceeded to boot from CD and do an install. Five 
minutes later, it was installed and running. Everyone was amazed.

Fifteen minutes later, we had gone through all the configuration 
screens and dialed out to my provider. Once connected, several 
people on another hub in the room ran a cable over to my demo 
hub and within a few more minutes, we had 6 computers on the 
internet. (of course, via a 56k modem, you can't do much with 6 
computers)

Yep, that did it.

Many of the people are going to need either NIC to NIC support or 
DSL/ADSL/ISDN/CableModem support. But, it's clear that there 
are lots of relevant uses for it as it stands.
