Geekfest & End of an Era

LAN party is one week away. Launch is 5:00PM Saturday the 27th. Several things are needed. Volunteers to help move stuff, food and drink, and volunteeres to help move stuff. If anyone has access to a large switch that will be cool. If not we can get by with several small ones. Be sure and pack your PC, monitor and headset. If you feel the need for battery backup please bring your own. There are a few monitors available for those that have monitors too large to tote. Dragor Rogue and his 36" monitor comes to mind! What a neat display.

We hope to have people from several different guilds and will be doing co-operative missions. Possibly some alliances can be formed during the festivities. We are still planning on a test machine that will have presearing so people new to the game will get a chance to play. Anyone that has a nice PC to donate just a few hours for this purpose can take home a free 14 trial of the original Guild Wars. Monitor, keyboard, mouse and headset will be available. We should have plenty of cables, chairs, coffee, burgers, dogs, etc., but may need one more large table. Wifi is in place and available. Anyone volunteering to help move stuff this weekend will be welcome.

After staying up and burning the 4:00AM oil a decision has been made. No more laptops. Period. Fine'. Endo Mundo. No mas. Nyet. Nix. If you purchase a new laptop and an extended warranty is offered please purchase it immediately. If you can't afford the warranty I'd suggest delaying the purchase until that is possible. Laptops are great and serve their purpose, but they are pure hell to repair. When mine quits it'll be chunked into file 13 and a new one will take its place. I'll buy the warranty too.
