the first meetings at Westminster had a lot of install fest, or install 
problem sessions. we would generally always have a lab open and there 
would be base units carried in from home. sometimes there would be hard 
disks pulled out of base units and hooked up to other machines to get a 
bootable system installed. there was a gradual change to laptops being 
brought along with sound and wireless problems, with an occasional 
application problem. as you say the number of people with any sort of 
problem has dropped.

if anyone wants to organise an install fest, or possibly some practical 
demos of software then feel free to get in touch.
