        Alright.  I can use my laptop as the presentation machine.
It'll run GNU/Linux though.  Otherwise, you'll have to dig up a desktop
machine for your presentation, if you want it to be Hurd based.

        I've got a dinky old Pentium machine that can be used as an
install machine.  It would be best to try it out beforehand, as it has
some unsavoury hardware inside it.

        Drinking may be difficult at the Comfy lounge.  Maybe we'd go
out to town in order to arrange that.
