December 5 we had better success. Put a different CD in the second machine and ended up with a 33 mhz 486 with a 1.5 gig hard disk, 16 meg of ram, CD (which unfortunately we had to run with Dos Drivers), and a sound card, which Brian is going to load with software and send to their school in Jamacia. Gary also was able to get a 286 finally working that he had spent part of several meetings working on, and after I left (for a meeting) he even was able to get the Bethesda computer working; it turned out that the hard drive apparently had encountered a surge which wiped out Track 0, and made it unable to be booted from.

We are cancelling the next two meetings, i.e. December 26 (the day after Christmas) and January 2 (the day after New Years), so the next meetings will be January 23, January 30, and February 6. We may be moving to a different Bethesda property, this one on the west side of Highway 75, instead of the east side, but if we do move it is only a couple of miles away, and instructions will be posted at the old location.
