I did say the resons were _most_ financial. Which is not the same as
'entirely' :-)
More seriosuly, if I could _participate_ I would. But I can't.
OK, well, ISTM that there's an obvious question here that has not been asked.
Please tell me if the following is not a fair summary...
You said you couldn't afford to attend.
You've been offered a lift and a whip-round to pay membership and so
on, but that is apparently not enough. You said that you see no point
in attending in person if you can't bring along a machine or machines
to exhibit.
So, as a thought experiment at this point in time, what would you wish
to bring along? What space would you want or need to properly display
it? And how much space would you need to transport it?

Seconded. Most useful post I've seen in
weeks. Where do I send
contributions? Assuming we can make this a zero-sum game (go vs. not
go) for Tony's finances, I'd like to do that.
Tony,
If you don't want to go for reasons other than financial, go ahead and say
so. ?We will respect your right to have a life.
But, if the reasons ARE financial, many of us would see your attendance
and participation as being a very good thing for classic comuters.
