Yep, alot of people have been writing about various preparations.

For those participating, I would strongly suggest having a look at the RetroChallenge BBS (Telnet lorance.no-ip.org) as it has been gathering a bit of pace. Well, I was on earlier anyway and we got a good three-way international conversation going. Most of the time it's pretty quiet though so keep checking back and see if anyone else is logged on (press W to list active members).
