On a related note (to this, even if not the original thread), I want to put a plug in for working with kids. I now spend each Friday morning at a middle school, along with 2 other geeks willing to join me, talking to kids about computing and PCs and BSD, and our topics range from whether "grey" is right or wrong to BSD vs Doze, to religion, sex, and all kinds of other things. If anybody is still following this thread, I highly recommend it for _mutual benefit_ for anyone interested in advocacy or even learning more about themselves. I have found (and my compatriots also) that I am better at my normal work AFTER EVERY SESSION, because explaining what I do makes me examine it for myself.
