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. See http://www.retrocomputers.eu/?page_id=9
