Computer News...

Last night Jim Dodds took me on a tour of the programs he has loaded on the lab computers.. This was after he put in a planed fix into the router ( the device that transmits the internet to all of the computers). The new fix should cure most of the outage problems we have been seeing.

While there I played a lot of Jewell Quest. Bob Abbot dropped by for some one on one lessons on how to use the internet. AS a result of the classes Bob has been taking he is thinking about buying a computer. We have been privileged to watch his skills and interest grow.

Announcing a new volunteer service.!!!

• Starting now... Jim Moreland will be in the lab for an hour a week from 1:30 to 2:30pm on Tuesdays to help anyone who drops by and needs computer help.

• Sid Adkins will be taking another date and time to help anyone who drops by the lab.. Sid will let us know when he will start.

• Ron Thomas will be in the lab from 6:00 to 8:00pm Monday thru Friday to help anybody that drops by. Will modify that later.. but for now we will try to be there every night during the week.

We need computer speakers donated to the lab.. Got an extra set? We need ‘em. We need mouse pads. We will be looking for office chairs with rollers too. Need a slim vertical book shelf. Need an articulating arm like the hospitals use for their in room TV’s. Got some cleaning time available? Our computers, keyboards and mice came out of the Georgia Pacific Mill and are pretty dirty. Everything needs to be cleaned with alcohol.
