If I'm remembering correctly, I arrived with 100 copies and then made
200 more plus 60 more in the final hours.  That's 360.  Now some of
the visitors were other exhibitors.  Perhaps 10% of people that came
by our booth didn't take one.  These two may cancel so lets say 360
non-exhibitors visited us.  But since we were not in the main traffic
stream a lot of people must have missed us.  So 500 seems a little
low.  If only about 500 paid for admission which I'm told was 20$
(=$13.66 US) then could others (gate-crashers) have sneaked in some 
way?
