Yes, I spoke with David and I gather we should be good
with Saturday November 4th at 11:00 PM (in other words
move everything up by one day).

Things that I see as a must are:

- Space for PCs (for the sake of argument 5 machines)
- Power to power those 5 machines
- 1-2 monitors (some folks (me being one) are crazy
enough to carry a PC on TTC, but monitors are another
issue)

Very Desirable:

- Connectivity (so folks can get set-up with Zap2It,
the firm that provides free TV schedule data for
MythTV users)

Nice, but:

- Video projector (unless one wants to count that as
one of monitors :-) , talk about big screen TV :-) ).
- Video Camera
