Notes on tonight:

   - I cranked the A/C up to 82 degrees before I left.  The A/C fan is on
   slow in the classroom.
   - Some dweeb dumped trashed CRT monitors (cut cords, cracked cases) in
   front of ByteWORKS -- apparently the BikeWORKS folk put them in the
   reception area.
   - Adam Stoker from BikeWORKS swung by and I gave him a small Multisync
   monitor from the basement.  He can't come by on Saturdays, and Alberto
   suggested he try on Wednesday night.  He will call on Saturday after labor
   day and give you all his card number.

Adult Classes:

First the good news:  I filled the adult class - we have 9 students, which
allows for 1 bad computer.  In fact I reached the end of the sign-ups for
adult classes.  There is a backlog of folks whom I could not contact (no
answers) or who need Saturday Classes.   The no answers typically never
answer, and I scratch them from the list.  Anyone who does not respond to a
message in a call box get scratched.  So the list is pretty short right
now.

So, we need more adults for the adult classes.

The bad news:  Windows in the virtual box needs someone to tend to it during
classes, to keep technological glitches from distracting from class
material. There is no problem that cannot be solved, but there are many
problems (dead keyboards, no internet, not fullscreen, Kernel not compiled,
etc. etc.).  A rotating roster of instructors, such as we have will not be
able to efficiently handle these problems efficiently, no matter how well I
write up the solutions.  I will be there for all classes but one.   For that
one, we will need help from staff.  This class is:

*the e-mail class on October 6th.  *

Any volunteers?
