That parking lot is free to people after 5:30 who are patrons of bookmark and others stores. EFN isn't listed, but of course, should you visit one of those stores, you can probably stay in the lot afterward (wink wink nudge nudge). Completely free and safe parking is either the meters on Willamette (or elsewhere) _after_ 6pm or better yet: The "parkcade" on 7/8th and Willamette... across from the hult. __Unless an event is going on at the Hult___ (it happens) it's free parking after 5pm, since it's one free hour, and they stop charging at 6pm. A word of warning: if they put a parking slip on your windshield, you WILL need to turn in the yellow ticket EVEN IF YOU DO NOT OWE MONEY TO THEM. Annoying but true. $25 fine 20 days later for not paying (a real pain)... they usually 'slip' the cars about 6:30. If you owe nothing, you just make sure you deposit everything in the payment box right before you leave. That might seem complex, but it's not. I just don't want people to get burned by Diamond's stupid rules. (As I did a few times). Unloading computers: Either park near TacoTime/A&W/Scan|Design on Willamette at the meter, OR unload with blinking lights on around the rear (look for the big EUGENE sign on the building, behind US Bank) and come around the building to the front with the computer. It's not a bad walk, about as hard as currently with Emerald. > After next Thursday? Who knows? We'll see how > the EFN thing works > next week. We have DHCP server, NATed internet, 768K... We do not have parts, sorry. Spare Cables might be found, but I recommend bringing... Wireless WILL be an option (it'll be back by next week I hope) If someone pleads hard enough with Patrick, Larry and myself, we might be persuaded to set up a local mirror of Debian for fast installs...
