Hello, All!

I would like to bring a machine to the meeting tomorrow for setup, but no
one has responded to the formmail on the website.  Will anyone be able to
help me if I bring a machine?  Do I need to bring a monitor?

Some Qs:

Will my current stuff get trashed and need to be reloaded?  ( I would assume
so).

How stable is a dual boot Linux/Win 9x machine?

Should I bring:

haha:
    - 386 with no cdrom or network card.

maybe:
    - Pentium 133 with cdrom and network card and 128 MB RAM

Don't really want to as it's my main machine:
    - Pentium 500 with cdrom and network card and 128 MB RAM

Don't care, but don't think it'll work:
    - Compaq Laptop Pentium 133 with cdrom and network card and 40 MB RAM.

Opinion?  Contact point?

Will there be someone/anyone to help me?

Can I bring my boys?  :)  Big one (husband) takes care of the little one (7
months).  :)

Thanks!  :)  c.
