That beautiful monitor is for sale :-) I agree I hadn't expected it to 
consume so much space. I swear the box is smaller than that thing.

As I too have issues with background noise and read lips (which I 
demonostrated at that session by not fully catching a conversation 
regarding a member's peanut allergy) so I can agree with your request. 
I'd like to get a projector and portable screen. There are tasks that just 
need to be demonstrated, and a chalk-board or handouts don't cut it.

I can use one of the LUG member's projectors, but I don't have a screen 
(or a wall that will do it justice. Anyone have one available?

For much of the rest of the class, while I'd prefer an actual Linux system 
handy, we can make due with an SSH client to another system, maybe one of 
the virtual servers on the UML box. I guess I didn't make it clear, as I 
had suggested VMware for Windows users who didn't want to ruin their 
windows install for 12 weeks.

Whatever you like and want to share. (except peanuts!) My only request is 
for items that have lids so that we don't have to worry about spilling on 
the laptops and items that don't require utensils or bowls, etc. It's just 
easier that way.
