I have not heard of this game in 24 hours concept before now - so
forgive me if I don't understand - are you wanting to be in an
enviroment where Joe Q Public can walk up and talk while your doing
it??? - If not then I have 2 suggestions for a location - 1 Hillcrest or
whatever the name of that school is - I mean the LUG has done alot for
them perhaps they would be willing to let us in for 24 hours on a
weekend - 2 you could do it at my offices - I have an open port on the
hub and you could just plug in - just a thought.
