Eight people attended the event. In addition we were connected via Big Blue Button to a virtual Installfest conducted by AZLOCO on line.

PREPARATIONS:

  • The wired and wireless internet at the Warrior Healing Center was once again more than adequate for the conduct of our installfests.
  • The group had additional switches, a spare monitor, spare VGA, DVI, and HDMI cables, spare power cables, two spare keyboards (one of which has a PS2 connector), and a spare mouse should any be required. This box of equipment is always present at our installfests.
  • Tools and spare CMOS batteries were present.
  • Spare RAM and hard drives were available should any computer require them. (One computer required a hard drive and 2 computers required a RAM upgrade.)

ACTIVITIES:

  • The set up took less than 20 minutes with 4 people involved.
  • There were 2 donated computers present for installation. One was deemed unusable.
