One of the purchases on Saturday morning will be another NIC for the box,
mostly for connecting to the cluster (my server will be the front end as
far as the rest of the HUMBUG meeting network is concerned).  I will
probably get a switch as well for the same reason, depends on how far my
money stretchs.

Anything on your HD's we just copy as is across the network, and I'll sort
them out later.  Anything that you have as CD or DVD only I will load up
through my DVD reader.
