Hey, it's hardware - you can replace the software ;-P

Anyway, if that's the only criticism anyone has of our conference, I'll
be very relieved :^)

We're running the next edu conference in Skegness in April - details to

If you're interested in Free Software events for NGOs, tell me more,
I'll try and point you in the right direction :-)

Cheers,
