If you decide to do this, I'd be willing to man the 7-CD (or however
many) burner. At the moment I've not decided whether to be there for one
or both days (or even the setup, if needs be) - depends partly on my
workload (which is rapidly heading towards zero) and whether I can be
useful - I doubt there'll be enough to do there for two entire days of
wandering aimlessly :)

I could bring my Athlon 750 with CD burner, a 10/100 network switch and
my little iBook2 as well, if they'll be useful.

Cheers,

Gareth
