Response

Hi everyone,

I emailed Art yesterday asking him for an update and here is his response from today (and my original email). I tried to forward it but the UIUC email has been acting wonky all day, so I had to cut and paste it instead.

Hello,

I had a really nice Thanksgiving in Maryland with family and friends and enjoyed temperatures in the 70′s in Virginia for a few days. There’s nothing like time off when you need it! The lab is coming along and there were minor issues that we are taking care of. It turns out that some of the hubs were connected together with straight cable connectors instead of cross over configuration in the way the tip was put together. That was something “I” should have caught earlier but I was too overjoyed at seeing it physically completed by your team. We will merely replace the tips with crossover ones.

Computer number 59 fizzled out on us but that is the only hardware failure. 1 out of 60 is pretty good. The kids will be coming in to use the lab later this week. I am connecting Mediacom Internet service to the hubs today and preparing the printer for lab network use.

Nice to here from you. Keep up the good work and I will get you an update next week and possibly some pictures of the kids working on the computers.

BTW, I did remember to remove the blue garbage can!
