Hi Fellow Sprinters, Only when I got to Copenhagen airport and started doing a bit of preparation did I remember that the old Powerbook that am bringing has PPC architecture. I assume this will be impractical for use at the sprint, so has someone got a spare x86 machine, preferably linux or Mac that I could borrow for the sprint? Thanks, Mark

That should not be a big problem. You can do a lot of development with any machine --- and then log in on some fast server if you occasionally need to translate. This is what I often do even with my modern x86 laptop, just because the server is even faster (and has more cores). Also, a sprint is a lot about peer-programming, which divides the number of needed laptops by two :-) Have a nice 2nd-half-of-travel, Armin.
