Here is something that just occurred to me.

A while ago, I suggested that, with Pia from Linux Australia being in 
Perth at about this time, she could do a presentation for PLUG, about 
Linux Australia, or something, and, the presentation, if it was to 
occur, would have been this coming Tuesday.

Nothing much more, appears to have come of it, apart from a few people 
(including Pia), voicing their support.

My suggestion is this; if that seminar does occur, perhaps it could be 
recorded, and the recording played to Leon.

I believe that he would be familiar with Pia's voice, with his being an 
ex-committee member of Linux Australia, and, depending on what would be 
in Pia's presentation, it could cause some reaction in him (if she says 
something that may have caused him to laugh, if he were okay, it may 
cause some reaction, in his sunconscious mind).

Anyway, it's a thought, and, it ccould possibly help him.
