I would be interested in helping out.  21st April would be difficult
for domestic reasons (though I might be able to spare an hour or two)
but subsequent dates should be OK.  It would be great if one or two
other SCLUG members were there (it would be nice to meet you in person
for one thing)

Don't know anything about audio software other than audacity, but happy
to set the network up.  Do they know which models of PCI cards to buy /
avoid for compatibility?

James.
