Project Reports

• Demo - The Demo at the Davis Food Co-Op on January 17th is still tentative. Henry had problems with the display; it may be the video card, but is more likely the DVI cable coming off of the monitor. We purchased a new demo machine (a mini-ITX form-factor) from Dave Margolis for $100.00.
