Update Phone Call
On Tuesday, November 14, Yael spoke with Pastor Malone since we hadn’t yet received any communication from him.
Hi guys -
I just spoke with Pastor Malone and I wanted to give you the details. I didn’t speak about missed deadlines, just explained that we needed to know certain things that were “integral” to our preparations.
He said he hasn’t ordered any software yet – doesn’t have a specific preference on the Bible software we found, so if we could please install a couple different packages that would be great.
He’d also like us to install openoffice/neooffice and if possible give him a disk. I explained how he’d be able to get it off the internet as well. I think he wants the ’safety’ of a disk.
He is waiting to hear from the cable company re:internet options. Please just make 6 computers (4 in the lab, 2 in the office) internet ready so he has the option.
He will be installing the outlets this week – he said that’s a given.
He has 8 monitors, 8 keyboards and 8 mice so we will need to provide 2 more of each.
He promised to send us a list (tomorrow?) with the type and model #’s of the monitors so we’ll know if they’re compatible.
I asked him to please let us know when he has the outlets installed and also if they will have the exact measurements as the ones on the opposite wall.
He said he would email us the internet info when he has it, as well.
We chatted a bit and he said he’s very excited. It was a friendly conversation.
That’s it! See you soon -
Response
Thanks for writing Pastor Malone; you were very diplomatic. Now we just cross our fingers. FYI, I moved my appointments to Monday at 8:30 and Tuesday at 8:30 so I should not be too late to lab. See you then (what a “break” week 
).
