If it rains on the 24th, then that will be the repair workshop, if it doesn't then the repair workshop will be on the 25th. I will just need to confirm that we can use the CDL area. 9032A isn't available on the 24th due to a Shipwreck museum symposium. It is also Marconi Day at InfoAge on the 24th.

[OT] Would anyone like a Power Mac G5 1.8 PCI-X Single Processor Machine?
by Alexander Jacocks 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

All, I have been offered, very cheaply, a nice condition Power Mac G5, with a single 1.8 GHz G5 CPU, and PCI-X expansion. It has some RAM installed, not sure how much. Would anyone like it? If so, I’ll grab it, and bring it with me to NJ, this weekend. - Alex

paging Ian

Hi Ian, I sent you some pix of a Zenith TV I mentioned at the last workshop. I think my emails might be getting bit-bucketed however; can you check your spam folder and let me know if it got through? And if the TV looks like something you can use, I’ll bring it up this weekend. -Jonathan
