Upcoming Trip and status of the space
Dear Pastor Tracy,
Our class will be coming back to East St. Louis this weekend to set up the labs as best as can be. The plan is to arrive late Friday morning and work through the day, and come back Saturday morning to finish up with any remaining kinks.
It is okay if the church is not completely ready for the full lab – we can install however many computers as will fit and can make arrangements with Martin for students next spring to do the finishing touches. However, it would be helpful before we come to know how much has been done, such as, is the space for the computers ready to go? Is there going to be internet?
Let us know if you have questions or if this absolutely won’t work.
Response
Sorry for the long delay. Have been out of town — been under the weather and to top things off i have had problems with my computer at the house. Due to everything going on i have not had an opportunity to get with a carpenter friend of mine to build a “L” shape computer table but that shouldn’t be a major issue. I remember receiving an email a while back that i thought i had responded to but discovered thsat i had not — one question that was asked was what computer is located in the admin office and the what we have is a Dell Dimension 2400. It is a pentium (R) CPU 2.40 HGz with 512 MB of ram and it is microsoft xp. The printer is a Dell 3000CN. The other question asked pertained to the electrical outlets and it does appear that the electrical outlets are on the same “line” but the electrician i spoke to said this should not be a problem given the scope of work we would be doing.
To date we have not contracted with anyone for internet service—this will be discussed at our annual church meeting on the 13th of December.
I am going to leave you with my cell phone # (xxx) xxx-xxxx so you can contact me especially concerning Friday because I have a funeral on Friday that starts at 12 noon at another church so give me a call and we can try and work something.
Pastor Tracy
