Hey guys,

My first Respawn LAN coming up, so a question about bringing a laptop.... Can I?

I have a main system which is rather sizeable... I usually put the system on the floor, im hoping there is room for that. Can i bring my laptop? Mainly i just use it for watching movies etc, but network access would be a bonus. Can i slip an admin $5 for an extra switch port? I'd rather not bother bringing my own switch, and i know how much of a pain that can be at lans too.

So can i bring it?

If it's for yourself and there's space on your table, it'll be fine. Wireless will most likely be available. Leave your switches at home.

i would suggest that you contact Zardoz regarding the fridge. otherwise regarding the computers, players pay for one (1) switchport upon entry. your laptops are welcome to use the wireless connection that will be available at the event.

with the amount of "stuff" that your bringing, it may be advisable to book two seats to allow you to spread your gear out.

just make a second dummy account ie TheTacoMan and TheTacoMan2

so we know who you are, and that you have two seats.
