and conducted 232 installs on laptops and desktops.

Discussion and Activities:

  • Discussed the addition of a second fiber optics Internet Provider in town which apparently will have lower prices than the current provider. Should be operational next year.
  • Discussed a possible project for members who are hardware geeks. We came into a laptop that was dropped and destroyed the ac adapter port. We have the new part but the repair will require disassembly and soldering. Anyone who wants to tackle it please contact Rex.
  • Discussed the successful installation of George’s printer. After many hours of research and trial and error he did it himself. Congratulations George.
