Update on The
ICUG Computer Console
Training Center
|
 |
I would like to take the opportunity to share the current Group effort underway toward
Upgrading the ICUG Computer Console and Training Classroom. Thanks to Chuckie for the Digital Photography, and making possible to present
a visual glimpse of our "Work In Progress". A Special Thanks to Willie, who added his seemingly endless efforts and energies toward
spearheading the cleaning, repair and rennovation in so many areas, in addition to
coordinating transport, distribution and disposal of old and damaged material and computer
equipment. To Eli, who continues, as he has done for so
many years, to arrive at the door, with just the needed Software Application to see the
completion of a Project, and for his tireless efforts of collecting computer equipment and
hauling it the distance, to bring and add to the ICUG Computer Resource Collection. For
the long nights, the heavy lifting, the late night long distance drives home, and the
unwavering confidence in Our Collective Visions ~ I would truly like to Thank You All! As
We begin to see and share the Friuts of Our Labor and Team Efforts - Note that You'll see
each listed on an ICUG Staff Project Update Page!

As they say, "A Picture is
worth 1000 Words!" So, I'll try not to complicate the presentation with too much
Technical Talk. But here You will notice the PCs and Macintosh Workstations, on the left,
and the Laptops and Hardware Repair, center. |
In Progress ~ new flooring, upgraded Workstations and adding new Servers! New System
Software and Training will expand to include UNIX / Linux - Linux is an Operating System
like Windows, in use by Universities and growing in popularity in the Business Sector, as
a stable and powerful, alternative to Microsoft Windows.
