Free computer, printers and other equipment
by Christopher Tidy
Hi folks,
I have a computer, two printers and various other equipment to give away.
If I know their functional state, it's listed below (but no guarantees).
These items need to be collected from Edgmond Common, postcode TF10 8ES.
If possible, I'd like these items to go to someone who'll use them,
instead of the dump. Please e-mail me at cdt22(a)cantab.net if you want
anything.
* Complete "Omega" PC including the following:
- Celeron 466 MHz processor
- 192 MB RAM
- 13.6 GB Fujitsu IDE hard disk
- LG 8x4x32x CD-Rw
- 48x CD-Rom
- Floppy drive
- Omega PS/2 keyboard and mouse
- SVGA graphics on motherboard
- Midi tower case (fairly decent, but missing one front blanking plate)
- LG 15" CRT monitor with built-in speakers
- Dual boot SUSE 9.1/Windows 98 (some issues with Windows)
- SUSE CD and book
Overall this is a clean machine in good order (not yellowed or battered).
It works fine (I just burned 2 CDs of documents when I was clearing out
the hard disk last weekend).
* Xerox DocuPrint P12 laser printer. This is now an old laser printer, but
it's very solidly built by modern standards. Parallel port connection.
Decent graphics drivers aren't available for versions of Windows after
Windows 2000 (there is a poor graphics driver you can use), but I think
text drivers for TrueType fonts are still available. Cosmetically in good
condition. Working fine 18 months ago and should still contain some toner.
Original driver floppies and cardboard box available, if you want them.
* Epson Stylus Color 680 inkjet printer. Compact printer with a parallel
port connection. Worked last time it was used, but that was a long time
ago. Slightly yellowed, but otherwise in good condition. Comes with
unopened black and colour cartridges. Maybe a manual too.
* Two Compaq caddies for 36.4 GB 15k Ultra 3 SCSI disks (to fit some kind
of server). Also one unknown caddy, possibly for HP.
* Jessops SmartMedia card reader. SmartMedia only. Needs parallel and PS/2
ports. In good condition but untested.
* Pentium 120 motherboard and graphics cards. For the old school gamers.
Might have more really old parts too - ask!
* Torisan 6x CD-Rom drive.
* Epson 3.25" floppy drive.
* Broken Apple 15" CRT monitor from a Centris (not sure why anyone would
want this).
Best wishes,
Chris

From The Meeting - Tech Meetings
by Dave R
Dear All,
>From the meeting on Monday 8th Feb, there were a few things that have been
decided to pass out to the mailing list so we can get your feed back.
I'm keeping them separate so things can be kept track of.
Tech Based meetings:
- What do you want?
- How would you want the format of the meeting to be?
- Does anyone have any good venues for the meetings (of course we would
only need anything special if we were wanting networking etc)?
There were suggestions that we could take the current social meeting and
may have a theme for the meeting (e.g. talking about nMap etc)

Visiting other lugs:
- To get a feel of the formats of meetings etc, we are considering
visiting other lugs to see how they do it. Are people up for that?
If so, we could always arrange car sharing etc (mainly for when I get lost!)
- If you are linked with other lugs and are on this mailing list, please
let us know what you think.
- Would you like to lug based visits (Ogg camp etc)

Other Stuff:

- Are you happy with things?
- Ideas?
And one question was about mailing list members, at the moment (including
me) we have 75 members.
