[games_access] E for All planning

[Eitan Glinert]

The MIT side will not need TVs. We'll be bringing 2 (maybe 3?) laptops for 
AudiOdyssey, and potentially 2 or 3 XO's (the one laptop per child 
laptops). I'll be sure to bring a power strip. We'll also have a couple of 
Wiimotes, and maybe speakers.

I have no idea how big the booth is, so I don't know what is feasible as 
far as what we can show off. If it's small, I suppose we'll only use one 
laptop.
