I have a spare set, microphones bust on them but headphones are pretty good.

The mouse is a brand new G5 with posh feet on, is that good enough?
Possibly have some grotty headphones (not sure if they have a cable though) will have a poke about.
Seems it already had a HDD in there with decently fast XP install, so there.
Headphones found, both sides work and sound good, no mic on them.
Only missing is a keyboard, I suspect this mobo only likes USB ones, so anyone have a spare? otherwise I'll order a fresh one, mine is a bit grotty anyway.

Bah i am not organized at all!
Didn't end up getting the headset in the end due to monies having to be spent elsewhere (damn you insurance and trip to london) so I'm going to have to go the traditional route of wearing my big headphones and shouting.
Not sure as of yet whether I'm going to be staying all weekend, I may have to leave on the sunday.
Also, it's definitely okay for me to borrow a machine?

I'll check for a USB keyboard when I get home. I think I have a dusty one sitting somewhere.

Erm. I'm under combined verbal assault from a vampire and a devolved scotsman to come along. I let slip that
I don't live very far away in Ealing so have even less excuse.
Is anyone with autovehicular transportation going to be in the vicinity of the M4 terminus pre-profLAN? If so I would dearly appreciate a lift for me and my box of stuff.
I should add, if you are happy to accomodate another random 5punker Prof?
