Hi Mike and all

I'm wondering whether having a deadline of 2pm on Saturday could maybe
be a bit to restrictive?  The option of 5pm on Friday could be a good
one.  Peter and others, what do you think?

BTW, I think Peter is the man to speak to regarding useful ways of
helping other people out with any old hardware.  He was, and maybe
still is, involved with a project in Ethiopia.

All the best
Laurent
