OK, what time is good for people?  We may as well go ahead even without 
the WEP11, as there are issues to sort out with all gear.

Without a doubt.  I think we should produce a press pack giving 
information about Consume.  Send this to a few media companies, and voice 
this as a demonstration of capabilities.  We need things that capture the 
imagination of the journalists, and the public, hence the gorge.  We need 
the killer apps.  I think for most people, this is broadband Internet, 
and multimedia, but there's more out there.

Fridays are good for me - I don't work Fridays.  T-shirts are a great 
idea, and perhaps we should erect a gazebo too, in case of poor weather?  
Don't really want wet laptops, eh?
