Ok, just to let you all know, I have the images on my laptop so should  
be fine for taking them down to the AGI next week. It's showing as  
just over 20GB on my snow leopard base 10 laptop ;-)

I'm tempted to try uploading them to my server but I imagine it'll  
take too long so basically I'll make no promises, but see what I can do.

Anyone who's at the conference and wants a copy can feel free to ask,  
though it'll be BYO external HDD/gigabit ethernet cable, multiple USB  
keys probably won't cut it as it'll be too much of a pain to split  
them up.
