The evening went well, and despite testing everything carefully last night,
- The RAM Turbo failed from the start, and I didn't have SJ1 compatible joysticks.
- The DivIDE worked beautifully, but wouldn't read the CF card I had my Divideo clips on.
- After a couple of hours of running demos and games on the +2, it started crashing. 

I had a dozen or so people come up and talk about it, including a guy who wrote "The Dungeon Builder" and "Icicle Works" - http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekpub.cgi?regexp=^Richard+Parratt$

I had one of them, but the handle fell off.
