Superb!  I've managed to get an 8MB CF card, and I have a few suitable 
mobo/cpu/ram combos for the nodes.  I can drop them round tomorrow 
afternoon if you're free.  I've also updated the website to include a 
to-do list, and a better colour scheme!  I'm in the process of detailing 
Steve's mapping software on the site now.  There was something else I 
wanted to mention too, but I'm damned if I can think what it was!
