Remembering the Linux Business Expo Fall 1999.

“In April 1999, I spent a day at Comdex Spring 1999 in Chicago.
At the Chicago Comdex, a collection of booths housing Linux
businesses made up the Linux Pavilion within Comdex’s main exhibit
floor. Just eight months later, at the Fall 1999 Comdex in Las
Vegas , Linux businesses had their own event – the Linux Business
Expo (LBE). I attended the first two days at Comdex Fall 1999,
billed as “the technology event for the new e-conomy” and spent a
large part of my time there at the LBE.”
