There were great stacks of brochures left for all of us, I'm afraid.
Doug Whalen took a bunch of them to give away at some event of his,
and I took the rest to give away at our various UT conferences this
year.

I don't know how to predict how many to make. Maybe 100? I didn't
count AILLA's, but I'm pretty sure we didn't give away more than,
say, 20 of anything. But we should be optimistic about next year,
since more publicity of the demo/office hours schedule could mean
lots more traffic.

People who took brochures tended to take some of each; I didn't
get the sense that any one moved faster or more than any other.
