I may be all alone out here, but I'm going to disagree with this statement. 
I have no interest in games whatsoever: I spend more than 8 hours in front 
of this doggone tube and when I'm not working I want to be as far from it 
as possible. My heart and mind would be more quickly won with a focus on 
productivity and reliability tools. Would it be within the scope of BLUG to 
have a presentation on StarOffice? (There may already have been one tho I 
didn't see it on the web page). How about some of the more Linux-friendly 
IDE's like CodeWarrior? Voice recognition tools? Desktop environments? 
Heck, even e-mail clients. Perhaps a greater focus on how folks can *use* 
Linux to solve everyday problems might draw out some heart/mind prospects.

If these topics seem to be broader than just Linux, then maybe there's 
someone on this list who could volunteer to talk about them at a meeting of 
the Boulder Chapter of the ACM? That's a more general group.
