This sounds like a great idea. Would Zane be able to get hold of a projector? I remember the Uni IT people having one a while back.
If we had a projector and at least one laptop I'm sure there'd be a few people who'd be willing to get up and do a short tip/demo. I can talk a little about Evolution/Palm Pilot synching if there's an interest, having recently battled through that myself. It'd be nice to follow through with the idea of discussing networking/firewalling etc. This could be pretty informal, just as a faciliated discussion, war stories etc. Also, Nick, could we get a reminder on what time the meeting is on the 28th?
