TWIMC, Please help Ms. Casey with advice on hardware and how to get it prior to the Installfest. Bill Horne -----Original Message----- From: Janet Casey [SMTP:jcasey at gnu.org] Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2000 1:08 PM To: bhorne at banet.net Subject: Installfest Dear Bill, Thanks for the info about the Installfest. I'd like to attend regardless -- can you give me the time and place? As for my computer, well, I don't have one. The only machine I have is an older Mac (which I bought for the software: Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, Pagemaker... but that's another story). I was looking to either have someone build me a box or get a basic machine from a store, although that would bring up compatibility questions as I don't think I could buy a machine without an OS already on it (which is why I wanted someone to build me a box). Maybe I'm headed in the wrong direction, maybe a basic box from Micro Center or somwhere would be fine. That's why I'd like to attend anyway, to get some advice. If I could get a basic box in time, maybe we could work something out. FYI- Miguel de Icaza, the GNOME developer, will be speaking briefly at a free event at Jillian's (Atlas Bar and Grill, 1st floor) on Lansdowne St. this coming Thurs, March 9. You have to register at www.developerWorks-barCode.ihost.com. He's only speaking for half an hour or so, but there's free food and LEGO Mindstorms to play with. It's sponsored by IBM (I've always been a fan of helping big companies spend their money...). -- Janet Casey Free Software Foundation www.gnu.org jcasey at gnu.org - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
