Not historically. They've only been willing to post flyers for us in the 
back training rooms, which occasionally get used for training or 
meetings, but mostly are apparantly used for storage.

They may be willing to do something different now, and if so... that's 
great.

In the past when we've had a lot of success we've posted flyers at most 
of the local computer shops (DIT, Dymin, Computer Shack...) and I think 
that's where most of our "customers" came from.
