If somebody wants to bring a supply of caps, I've got at least a
couple of PSUs that already need attention, (slow/non-existent start
ups, mainly) and am happy to contribute a few quid towards their
fitting!

Ah, right, I found my very long econet cable the other day; it will be
long enough to link the island to the outside edge, perhaps even in an
"up and over" route, rather than across the floor - that daisy-chain
of flyleads we had at Byte Back was not quite ideal..

Now I've been meaning to look into those for ages.

ok, ok, I've succumbed and bought mine now....  I just hope nothing
stops me from making it there, now..

Many thanks to you and everybody involved for all the work you're putting in!
