I believe no one else has volunteered and we would be very
interested. The tournament fee would be 25 Euros which we
can no doubt come up with. I'm not sure if it is too late
to register since the tournament is during the first week
of July. However since you have spoken with the organizers
perhaps we can assume this.

I see there are loan machines but they are Windows XP.
Do you have any experience operating a machine in a 
tournament? I assume that the tournament will use the GMP
(Go Modem Protocol). I believe we've never used Windows XP
in a tournament and I can't tell you how to do it. If you
have access to a Linux Laptop you can use CGoban and
I think this is what we've done in every tournament.
