Been there, done that :)
Lasy year Michael  was demoing NeverWinter nights and probably others I cannot remember while
James ran UT200? with his 21" LCD monitor - it looked so sweet.
FrozenBubble on the other hand got a good response from the younger audience (and their parents).

There have been thoughts along the lines of a Lan Party around November/December.  I'm still
trying to come up with a suitable venue.  Any ideas ?

Have fun,
Duncan
