@Dr Herbie: I've been SSD for years now.  It is worth the money.   I've switched to pretty much file server system and SSDs.  http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2010/09/revisiting-solid-state-hard-drives.html 

Shaun, Yeah, we filled up almost right away.  We sent an email out to verify anyone who signed up was interested and kept that sign up list at 100% full.  We have had an overwhelming response of people wanting to be a part of this year's Hackathon and we personally want to thank you for joining the Hackathon waitlist.  Sadly, we cannot accommodate additional participants

The hackathon is for attendees.  It is a different way to learn.  I know I learn best by actually building out applications and prototypes.  Last year some people did sessions then programmed all night to create amazing applications.  I was proud to have helped out and this year I get to be the owner of the hackathon.

We fill the room with product experts and try to remove any barrier so you and your team can build the best application possible.
