Agreed.  And are we wanting only professional coders who have been
coding for a living for a long time, or should the coding be open to the
less experienced. (ie: college students like myself who have only been
programming for 4 years or so)  I tend to think we should limit this
particular project to those who have been doing it for a while unless we
just don't have enough people.  I'll be there for moral support and to
keep the Coffee/Jolt/Dr. Pepper/whatever-keeps-you-going coming!! 
Anything to make it a success!!  Teamwork is the only way!!

If they say okay at Best Buy then we won't be able to do it *on* Linux
Demo Day.  They won't let us stay for a solid 24 hrs I can guarantee
it...the building *must* be secured at night.
