There are some (actually 6) PC's available from which you can browse the
internet etc.
Problems with that??? I think it's very useful, to show off your homepage,
look up the docs you need, have a chat with people from Brazil, Spain and
Japan and give live reports of the fair... Also, you can convert files from
one format to the other, make some small gfx (drawing a nice title is very
easy with PC-programs, just find a nice font, type your text and convert it
to MSX)...

But not all people can bring an MSX and a PC. For some people the MSX will
be a problem (because they come by train, for instance).

I think you should work with what you've got. I mean: I don't think the use
of 640k instead of 128k really makes a difference. The 128k-composer has to
be more inventive. And at the other hand, 640k tempts to use it fully, which
could result in overkill. I think it's fair to use your own configuration.
And if you want more SampleRAM: you can buy it on location!!! About
FMpac/MusicModule: 1. I think they are still quite good, and 2. Almost all
composers have a MoonSound.
But we could give some bonuspoints to people using an old soundchip...
Though SCC Blaffer can produce nice musics I bet.

Ok.

Well for the people who forgot some docs... It isn't that difficult, just
put some application manuals on a central table. But at the other hand, if
you are looking for docs, you can as well ask the programmer next to you,
eh?

Well that's the case with megademo's. But I think that's the challenge:
program some cool demo in 24 hours. But maybe I'm wrong... Anyways, it
wouldn't be fair if one prepares a complete megademo at home and another
starts at the marathon. We definately have to set a rule for this...

I think too.
