COMPUTER UPDATE

COMPUTER UPDATE!!

Hey hey hey!! We got a computer lab that is hot.. Cooking on the front burner.

We now have all the computers on hi-speed internet in the lab and in the office... That means 7 people can be on the internet in the lab simultaneously and each go their own way. But wait there is more... Do you own a laptop computer? You do? Well you should know that the LVH Clubhouse is now a WiFi Hotspot. That’s right .. you can hook up to our own LVH wireless network anywhere in the clubhouse and surf the net.

We are having some difficulty with the lab’s printer but our in house expert.. Jim Dodd’s is researching that and we expect it to be on line soon. When it does start working you will be able to print to it from each computer in the lab.

As we have said Jim Dodds has provided technical expertise and many hours reconditioning and installing Windows 2000 and huge amount of software valued at $14500 on our computers. Today he came to do the final hook up of the lab and office computers. We did the donkey work providing cables, routers and switches and he put the magic touch on the software that brought it all together. While he was doing it he pointed out to me that each of our lab computers is protected by Norton Anti virus for over 3 years which he also loaded on to each of them free of charge...

Folks I have been saying thank you to Jim for so much.. I just hope you thank him when you see him too.

About two or three weeks ago Ron Gibbs asked if we could incorporate a wireless network into the clubhouse with a router that he had bought but never used. Always ready to take a leap at that word free I jumped. After I had it in my hot little hand I asked Jim Dodds if he thought we could do it. Of course we can. Well Ron if you read this it works just dandy. Bring your laptop to the clubhouse and give it a try.

Let’s not forget, the social club sprang for the roughly $300 that it took to buy the top of the line equipment that operates all this new high tech stuff. I hope you stop by the lab or bring your laptop up and give it a try... It’s ours and it’s great.

Lastly, Brian Friterer, managing owner of the park had Charter hi-speed internet installed in the clubhouse and is paying the monthly cost for it.

You folks got a good deal here. Sid Adkins... you asked if we had internet hooked up... well Sid,, you betcha!!
