* Yes, they moan and they groan a lot. They have big gnarly trunks, long arms, and are huge, but don't be afraid!!!! They are called "Trees" and they won't hurt you.
* Record your modem's handshake signal, and a few of your favorite Windows event
sounds. Keep the tape & small tape player handy. Play the tape whenever you begin to
crave your computer. Don't forget spare batteries.
*CAUTION* doing this within hearing range of your spouse could illicit a violent
response.
* A lite blue piece of plastic taped over the end of your flashlight will simulate monitor glow in your tent well enough for you to fall asleep.
* You can usually find an etch-a-sketch in the children's play area if you just HAVE to stare a screen awhile.
* When they say "do not expose to extreme temperatures, moisture, or the elements" in
your laptops manual, they MEAN it!
"Morning Dew" = moisture
"Crisp Morning Air" = extreme temperatures.
"The Elements" are anything that you can't keep out of your tent.
*Be prepared for the word "bug" to take on an entirely new meaning. While "bugs", as in Win98, are similar to "bugs", as in insects, (both are small, annoying problems that won't go away and can drive you crazy) there is a distinct difference. The bugs you will encounter at festivals are much easier to eliminate then bugs you will encounter in Microsoft products. Our staff's preference is to ignore environmental impact statements, health warnings, and the occasional skin rash and just bath in a 1000% Deet repellant. Unfortunately, we haven't found a product that will ward off Microsoft bugs this painlessly.
