Done! Thanks Andrew Seeley, John Newman, Laurie Anderson, Lex Cunningham and
Tony Epton.

Manbo's been mostly reassembled as it was, but I'd like to check the
placement of each board and try booting it, make sure it's survived the
trip. There's a missing D1000 HDD array - it wasn't left in Arts, was it?

Starfish and two of its vector processing boards (anything else to
find?) are ready for pickup.

TODO: We were already planning on adding a few things to the website:
 * CorporatePolicy.doc , CorporateStructure.doc
 * a PDP-6 blurb
 * "WA Computing History - Graphics"
 * MembershipApplicationForm.pdf , Memberapplication.doc / MemberapplicationSide2.doc
 * fix the "Contact Us" email (currently the old aceware at iinet.net.au )
 * add a Mailing List link to: http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/acmswa/
 ***** a copy of the UCC pages on manbo & manduba

Tony or Linda was going to do some of that, we might finish it off at
Tony's place in a fortnight or so and get a network working down to
the barn.

  * Next meeting and Busy Bee scheduled for 19th January 2014
    from 08:00 to 10:00, at the Mundaring Barn
    We might try to do some priority cataloguing of the loose items on
    top of the major equipment.

Nick.
