Happy birthday BTW. :)

FWIW Google video chat was on Windows first, and I think it also works
on Linux, so pretty much any laptop with webcam should do.

If anyone has a rooted Android that isn't on AT&T (I'm looking at you
Rolf) they can set up "wireless tether for root," I've had an entire
Chuck-e-Cheese using my 600MHz 3G Hero and didn't have any trouble
downloading RPMs to my CentOS laptop.

That said I'm somewhat unclear what is being broadcast?  I thought the
fun of the Qs was meeting everyone, are there actual scheduled events?

There is an Atlanta SE GTG being planned on Peach Parts for September 10. 
Is that the same event being discussed in here?  If not that would 
make THREE Mercedes get togethers scheduled for nearly the same time!  It 
is starting to sound like a . Movement!!!

that would be of some use.
