rather than focussing on saving money I would seek to explain about how 
Free software can be economically transformative by allowing you to 
redistribute it without counting the number of times you do so, thus 
allowing you to scale things out without incurring crippling costs. Look 
at huge server farms like google/facebook/twitter etc. or even the fact 
that I have about 15 VMs on my laptop that I fire up to do work for 
different customers. Give me a shout if you want some Natty CDs to hand 
out (might not have many by September though)
