The coffee is mostly donated, the cptrs we use as a router are donated, the
room is donated, and the time is donated.  We talk every nonw and then about
collecting dues or donations in order to get things printed up, but up til now
everything has been donated, the cd's we use to burn to are donated (or bring
your own blanks and we'll burn.

Even the T-shirts and stickers we give away were all donated.  There is a soda
machine but ifa nyoen wants to bring pop or chips to share that is an
individual decision.

I got tired of draggin the monitor/case everywhere so I use old laptops now. 
If I have something big to do I will bring in a desktop.  I am trying to put
together a low powered desktop for experimenting at meetings.

Unfortunately no one can take this responsibility and so I must say No.  The
organizations sponsoring us in the builsing would ahve the final say I presume
but unitl I hear differently I will have to stick to the safer (more boring)
route of no alcohol or pistols or dueling (an old Army dining in rule). (But
caffeine is an oft abused stimulant!  Feel free to indulge in it...:-)
