- Note: A 10/100baseT Internet connection at the booth costs $400 (!), thats allegedly a discount. So, no Internet. We have some online material that is cacheable, and if Ragi brings his Earth Browser, thats plenty of eye candy.
- Note: there is a memo about electricity not included also! Hmm, well race to the wall sockets with your laptops, because at this point no electricity is being ordered, either. Late fee for booth orders start after July 10th.
