I would have asked you to be one of the guys offering a session then as
we were neighbours more or less - was it Helston by any chance - the IT
guys would have been the same and vetoed it.

How do we get round this other than by asking people to bring laptops in
or having lots ourselves? I imagine different reasons would be given -
it would be nice to couple up to the Internet to download updates etc.
and demonstrate the how-to but they's probably say Linux was insecure.
