Sorry everyone for the late report. I had to rush to a personal commitment after museum hours and just got home. Moderate amount of visitors today. About a dozen total, all adults. I installed kick-down doorstops on the double-door entrance to our museum. Before we were using a wedge-style doorstop and only had one of those. New ones are a nice improvement. I tested our new Compaq Portable III because I need a working one for Lego robot demos. It boots to a memory error, so I'll see about fixing it at the next workshop -- something about "error 21" but I forget the exact message. We have another one for parts if needed. Should I start with the usual reseating, etc.? (Worse problem: the prior owner inserted a 5.25" disk ** sideways ** .... it's stuck in there. I will take it apart at the workshop to undo their action.) Laura was there today to paint the trim pieces that will attach to the front of the new UNIVAC pallets. Tony stopped by to work on the last of our untested Apple IIs.

It's OK, even us admins have lives! ;)

Thanks! I've been wanting to buy doorstops for a while, but this is a better, easy idea. Laura was there today to paint the trim pieces that will attach to the

Glad to see progress on the UNIVAC moving right along.

Awesome!
