Distribute pamphlets at your local airport. This never fails for cultstarters.
That's the word on the street anyway.

I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

Um... I dunno but I feel that is REALLY inappropriate. What that man immoliated himself for goes far beyond this petty and trivial topic. Please don't mix what he did with idle chatter and childish nonsense. It's extremely insulting on a very personal level.

1) Design a Web site
2) Start a eNewsletter
3) Make a few brochures and hang them at the local college/university and bookstore.
4) Do Stuff "Steve just purhcased Adobe InDesign and will be showing it off on Saturday bla bla bla"
5) Write reviews for software, hardware, anything...
6) Take photos of the events and post them on the site (make a community)
7) Screenshots, screenshots, screenshots... People love looking at what you do to your computer.
8) Try to do something original "We have a 233-HMz G3 that we are going to install Darwin"
9) Have a reading list (UNIX Shell programming by Stephen G. Kochan and Patrick H. Wood... great book) and then talk about the book (offer to meet and go over something in the chapters)
10) Start a real newsletter about little tricks and tips for Mac people...

I was actually in the process of designing a Mac site similar to that. Got the domain name, some webspace, just not enough time to completely set it up and get it online, yet.

Um, I don't need to lighten up. You need to gain a little better appreciation for significant historical events. That demonstration started something in India that was VERY IMPORTANT.
<to self>
Pssheesh. Lighten up, he says. Grow up, I say to him!
<yells at sek929>
I wish you hadn't been born in an industrialized nation. You don't deserve it.

Uhh what? I post one image and all of sudden you know everyhting about me? How the hell do you get off dictating to me where I shouldn't have been born? I think you should grow up a little. Just because I included that image you automatically think I am mocking the act and in some way disrespecting that monk, how pretentious...
Once again, lighten up.

Bzzz! I'm sorry, the correct answer was Viet Nam.

Regardless of where it was, it was inappropriate to put up that picture. It strikes a certain disrespect for what those monks were stating.
