There was so much said implicitly, that I wasn't sure, that everybody
(including me) realized all of it. That's why I tried to collect the
summary of it :-)

So we currently have 4 machines at the booth:
- Your Alpha
- the PowerMac
- two i386
Sounds quite empty. I have a old SUN Netra (Ultra 1) with ~224MB RAM
and a graphics adapter (maybe I'll find a cable for this, too) at the
office. Does it make sense to try to install Woody on it (never did
this before on a sparc) and bring it with me? I cannot promise this
machine, but if it is useful, I can try it.

For there should be a user with a known (to the booth stuff) password
on every machine, so that the machines can really be use to show
features, even when the contributor of the machine is away...
Tschoeeee
