No, but I guess we'll have a switch with "x" number of ports free
that 
people can just wander up to with their own devices, plug in, and download

required for demos of various stuff... I can preconfigure the server with
things like Homeseer, ACE server, Girder, DDAR/Audiotron server, and 
whatever else people think we might need...

Or better still, - mount Ian's drives internally, and leave all the caddy
slots available so people can slot in their blank drives and download from
the archive that way, rather than relying solely on LAN connections. -
Plus, 
I don't actually *have* any caddies spare at the moment! - if the exact
same 
ones are still available (Scan was it?) I'll order up a few...

Then people can either bring along an empty hard drive and fill it up via a
disk copy, or they can bring along a laptop and plug in to the LAN...
