One thing I would recomend, for international atendies at least is a pre-packed
'everthing' kit. IE, if its paper,put it in. As I remember I sent 2 bags of
4th class mail back of what I collected. Collecting, packing and finding the
PO and fighting an unfamiliar postal system was a frag I could have done
without. If I remember rightly it was $20 somthing per bag for postage. I am
sure a $200-300 post-the-lot would go over well. It would be a pain to put
all the stuff together I know, but I would gladly pay a premium to not to have
another item to add to the exaustion of walking from one end of the 'chicken-
cooker' to the other. ( Anyone elses feet still hurt form the MGM Grand hike-
a-thon? )

Oh yes, include the DEC glossies,manuals etc.

How about a games kit on floppys for the kids? I started my 10yo off on hack
and rec.games.hack. He now has his own account and has given up RGH and is read-
ing random newsgroups that interest him. He'l be wanting a modem of his own soon
plus his own phone-line... :-( 

One of the all time favorites for the oz decus is the decus umbrella. Blue and
white,with a decus logo. Its a GOOD solid one too. Seems to get the high marks
from all who have it, and many who wish they did...
