Support Hardware:
  ___LTSP Clients up to 4 more
     LTSP clients Need no Hard Drive.  32 meg of memory is sufficient.  A
     NIC card supported by ROM-A-MATIC or with an Etherboot (TFTP) NIC.
     I should be able to come up with a couple more Linksys NIC's (if
     someone has boxes) with boot floppies (or onboard etherboot chips)
     but they require 200MHz of better.

Working Computers:
    Let me know if we have missed any catagories here.

Suggested demos(presentations) needing a champion where "Demonstration"
means: Normally one (instructor/demonstrator) to few (as many as can look
over the demonstrators shoulder) students and normally presented in a
room with much other activities going on.
