| The Internet cafe will consist of 12 independent Linux workstations
| running on two Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz desktops with 2 GB of RAM. The
| Linux Desktop Multiplier software has been used to provide low-cost,
| high-performance Internet cafes at other major technology
| conferences including GWAVACon, GroupWise European Summit and
| BrainStormer UK.

| Desktop Multiplier enables trade show organisers, school districts
| and governments to drive more value out of their fixed budgets," says
| Trevor Poapst, Director of Global Marketing for Omni. "The Linux
| Desktop Multiplier's '10-for-1' value proposition is ideal for
| Linux-based computer labs, Internet cafes, retail POS terminals
| and call centres."
