Unisys Smoking Hot Demo at Linux World Boston

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday April 4, 2006 @05:25AM from the boston-chernobyl dept.

This year's LinuxWorld Boston started off with a bang...and a fair amount of smoke. Unisys apparently had a few problems launching their first demo, as our own Robin "Roblimo" Miller reports over at Newsforge (also owned by VA Software). From the article: "Less than an hour after the show floor opened at the 2006 edition of the Boston LinuxWorld Expo today, fire alarms went off and a plume of smoke arose from the server cabinet in the Unisys display. "I knew we had a magician scheduled," said one rattled Unisys employee,"but this isn't what I expected." Indeed, this was an unexpected event. It was a real fire -- or at least a considerable smolder, complete with firemen, evacuation orders (soon rescinded), and other hoopla. Photos and a video clip included."

Unisys Smoking Hot Demo
What is this "Hot Demo" they were smoking, and does it come in menthol?
Oh, you meant "Smoking-Hot Demo". Never mind.
