COMPUTERSSSSSS

COMPUTERSSSSSS....

For a time ... a long time ... We had hopes of establishing a computer training, play lab and club  at the club house. Some folks gave their older computers as they replaced them with new ones. Others donated other equipment. Trouble was they were all different in the way of operating systems and had different capabilities making it impossible to teach anything on them.

Donna Talarski put us on a waiting list at the Georgia Pacific plant in Toledo for 10 computers as they replace there older units with newer units. Today that became a reality. It started with a phone call from Donna saying that they had computers for us but they were on a first come first serve basis so we better hustle if we wanted first pick.

Throw the back seat out of the van... call Bill Furgason.. grab a banana for breakfast and we’re off to Toledo...


We arrive at the Toledo plant and the Capitan of Guards escorts us to the storage building where LVH’s new computers are waiting. They all are Pentium 3’s with Windows 98 operating systems. Along with the 10 we were given a server and an additional monitor.

Where are they now? They are in the back of my van. Why? Because we need a place to store them until we can go through them and then bring them to the clubhouse. Can you help?

New folks have moved into the neighborhood with computer expertise and a few of us older ones are here too. There are those that were interested in being in a LVH computer club. Now is the time that we could use your help. We have expert carpenters and cabinet makers here to .. We could use help making the computer room not look like a dumping ground by building shelving for our new computers.
