  They seem to be calling out tubes, and by implication, not flat
panels.  Doubtless because of the disposal problem presented by CRTs.
I don't see a problem with requiring a deposit, so long as they give
it back.  If you can't afford $20, you don't have any business hauling
a CRT around anyway.

  The "no alcohol" policy is unfortunate, but lacking a police force
to enforce more general "don't be a dick" rules, probably a necessary
evil.

  I'm considering making an informal trip to the inaugural event, to
reconnoiter and get an idea for if/how to re-institute the GNHLUG
Hosstraders involvement there.
