School Report August 11th, 2005
San Pasqual High School
08.11.2005
By Kevin Hovanec
The following text is an excerpt from a request the school volunteer group received via the SDMUG bulletin board system early in August.
Description
Teacher could use help setting up a network with 18 new, unopened G5s and 3 new iBooks in a video production classroom in Escondido. There are three other Macs in the room that could go on the network too. This needs to be done by August 11th.
Well, this request fit the job description for the SDMUG school volunteer group. After organizing a schedule and who would be working on this project, work began Aug. 9th on the project at San Pasqual High School. Ted Whirledge was very pleased at the response to his request for knowledgeable Macintosh users.

School Report January 22nd, 2005
Parkview Elementary
01.22.2005
By Kevin Hovanec
The second SDMUG school project of 2005 was held Saturday January 22 at Parkview Elementary School in Chula Vista. The school staff was represented by Principle Charlie Padilla, Sixth Grade Teacher Antonio Valladolid and Volunteer Technical Assistant Nancy Greene. Their representatives were well prepared to affect the needed repairs to the computers in the classrooms.
A team of six SDMUG volunteers were scattered to the many clusters of iMac G3's and older all in one models in the classrooms. Most of the computers were suffering the effects of constant reboots due to a consistent lack of RAM. Most responded with simple repairs, though a few were discovered to have broken keyboards, dead PRAM batteries, and one iMac suffered from a dead hard drive. We exhausted the supply of batteries we brought with us very quickly. more...

School Report January 8th, 2005
Brooklyn Elementary

By Kevin Hovanec
The general meeting was held at 6:30 pm, May 5th at Cox Communications, 5651 Copley Drive in San Diego. This month we covered several valuable Mac shareware and freeware applications. The different apps were presented by members of the SDMUG board.
The first SDMUG school support visit of 2005 was to Brooklyn Elementary School in the Golden Hill district East of Downtown San Diego. The job was to go over the computers in the Literacy Laboratory which has 17 iMacs, 5 G3 All-in-ones, and an older 6500 Tower.
The iMacs had been moved about to group them by vintage. The team was responsible for upgrading the operating systems on some of the older Macs from OS 8.6 to 9.1 (this limit was due to the limits of RAM in many of the machines). In a few cases, the iMacs had only 64 megabytes of memory, making OS upgrades impossible. more...
