[IMC-Tech] Re: [IMC-Space] two more public access machines...

[Danielle Chynoweth]

I purchased three tables for public access at the Dump and Run (cheap).

One is circular and good for one computer in the library space, one  
is a kitchen table good for 2 machines, one is an antique wood school  
desk & good for the lobby area.

Public access should not use the collapsible tables b/c they are in  
high demand.

We should talk to Carol Inskeep, our librarian brainiac about how to  
put software on the machine to prevent porn.

There will be 3 new wireless cards for machines next week - bringing  
our total to 4.

We should take this discussion off the IMC list and onto tech and space.
