April's now, feller ;) I think it's gradually been sloping backwards in the
calendar every year, I'm not entirely sure why. Steve Bass is on the list
and ISTR he's involved in it in some way so perhaps he can clarify!
My general plan for the stand is that we'll have the Domesday, two Beebs
for playing with (probably a Master and a B), and a fourth machine with
'new stuff and curiosities' attached to it such as the CF reader and the
ARM7 copro. Everything except the Domesday will be linked with Econet.
Hopefully I'll have time this weekend to sort out what I'm showing off and
get everything tested, plus some interesting software bits on the MDFS. If
anyone wants me to bring anything in particular or bring facilities to do
stuff like burning EPROMs, please let me know otherwise I will leave them
at home. I don't want to drag stuff along and not use it, especially given
that it's a single day and I've only got 2h setup time before the event
opens.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: The charity stall is *not* accepting anything except
RISC OS stuff so **please** don't embarrass them by asking, however I am
happy to charity-deal any 8-bit things and dispose/donate as relevant after
the event off my own back. Hardware only please, no books/mags/monitors.
I may also have a small selection of things for sale to fund the stand
depending on whether I get round to sorting out the garage a bit but this
is subject to me finding stuff I want to dispose of - a list may be
available a day or two before but again work is taking priority.
Photos of course will be in the usual place, and I'll make more of an
effort to get some pics this year.
(For those who still don't know what I look like (and would like to buy me
a beer), I've got blonde highlights and look like this:

you're *really* that way inclined.)
