Sounds like a good idea. If we know what we are doing in advance, we can bring CDs, Floppies, spare hardware etc. Jon - how much RAM does the 486 have? Does it have a network card etc? DSL maybe a good choice for it as it can run on a 486. Also, if anyone wants me to bring a machine from my collection - do let me know.
