Huge Thanks!

The benefit was a huge success! With the food, dancing, and silent auction, we made over $5,000! I was shooting to raise about a grand or maybe $1,500, but never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd go this big.

Huge thanks to everyone involved from my co-organizers to local business folk who donated to the few hundred people who came and had a good time!

And just for the record, the reconditioned Linux box (Fedora Core 3) that I built for the auction went for $100 bucks. That, of course, was for the hardware. The OS, as always was free. ;-)
