Thank you all.  I did not know about the revolution-os movie.  I'll be 
interested to check that out for at least my own edification.

@Joseph: though I'm happy to act in that role for him, I only have a 
passing (once every 3 or 4+ weeks) interaction with him for 5 minutes at 
a time.  When he asked, I didn't want to overwhelm with an enthusiasm he 
couldn't quite understand in the time allotted, but I did want to give a 
starter resource.  I suppose, like most of the O.S. world, he'll either 
appreciate it in his own time, or he won't.  (But he's asking, and I 
want to encourage this line of questions!)

@Robert: good suggestion.  He's certainly a lego-lover.

@Jack: I don't know that he'd be in to programming, per se, just (at 
this point) the philosophy behind Free software.  I've personally found 
that the philosophy behind FOSS, when articulated well, is much more 
interesting to most non-computer types, than is what a program or 
operating system can do.  In that vein, I'd very much support a TriLUG 
family day.  (Good idea!)

Cheers y'all,

Kevin
