Another payment option for Kiwi PyCon 2009
Hello all, The Kiwi PyCon 2009 team have been beavering away in the background and we can now announce that we now offer another payment option - Paymate. This will be of particular benefit to our international delegates as it provides the option to accept credit card payments for your admission fees. Also, in order to provide the optimum wireless experience at Kiwi PyCon 2009, we've also included an option in the registration form that asks delegates who will be bringing a laptop/wireless device to the conference to specify which Wifi technology their wireless card supports (i.e. 802.11a, 802.11g or both). -Your Kiwi PyCon 2009 Team.

This answer from Nick above (with -f flag) was the one that worked for me in the end. Thanks everyone, Bryce Stenberg.

The Open-PC project.
Has anybody else taken a look at the Open-PC project? They're trying to pull together a company to sell Linux PC's in the same manner as an open source project. I've been posting this and that on the forums hoping in the vain hope that the project gets of the ground but I suspect that it's doomed to failure. Everyone seems set on netbooks which are a dead end IMHO. www.open-pc.org -- Quote of the login: Different all twisty a of in maze are you, passages little.
