Hi, Walter!  We'll be glad to give you a hand.  I might suggest we
actually start by creating an archive copy onto CD-R or DVD-R disc for
you of those photos and files -- which isn't actually difficult.

You're certainly also welcome to use the CABAL CD/DVD collection (of
Linux and BSD distributions) to duplicate and to use -- and you might
want to use my external USB/Firewire-connectable optical drive to
install from onto the Acer, especially if the latter doesn't have its
own optical drive.

As to what to bring:  Whatever you feel like.  If you wish to bring food
to share, something with vegetables and/or fruit is generally a good
idea, because those tend to be underrepresented.  Also, if you want
fizzy water (soda), don't forget to bring your own.
