This is my first year attending DefCon, and i don't have a laptop. :( but i was wondering if it is out of the norm to bring a desktop computer? I also will have my Sharp Zaurus PDA that is Linux powered, and will have a compact flash 802.11b card for it. so i can go "war-walking." lol. But will it be weird if i bring a desktop?

Bringing a Desktop
I've brought my desktop before, and it wasn't weird at all.
It came in handy in the hotel room, more than on the floor as it is akward to have to carry a full size pc around. I had a flat panel monitor so it made things a lot easier to carry. Just make sure you keep an eye on your stuff, because it might walk off if you don't.

I met some guy's parents at defcon last year, they drove all the way to vegas so their teenage h4x0r kid could go to defcon and then they stayed at the AP with him... odd, but i guess it beats not going if you're teenager."Those who would willingly trade essential liberty for temporary security are deserving of neither." --Benjamin Franklin

I told Priest (class A Goon) that I wanted to set up a booth with an internet camera so people could e-mail home saying all is well. In the background would be a set; folks with letterman sweaters, lemonade, maybe some Muzak playing. Then the parents would relax better. :>

great idea astcell.. but I think you should have diffrent backgrounds.. igloos... maybe like some restraunt scene... or some shots at like a nuclear reactor... that would rockIf I had a nickle for every time someone offered me ten cents to keep my two cents to myself... I would be a rich man.
