Subject: Re: Migrating to Mac
I don't plan to install the VM host until I get to the Installfest.

I am planning on bringing:

* the Dell Ubuntu box
* the Mac
* VMware Fusion media

I do not want to bring, but can bring any of these.

* DVI monitor
* DVI cable
* Mouse
* Keyboard

Or just bring the Dell with you.
