[Csped] Living proof that memory increases with a long night

[Joey]

Its an interesting time to remember an assignment, but we were going to 
do something by Friday I believe.... Oops, lets make that Saturday at 
midnight. You will all lose some percentage of your grade unless the 
teacher takes so long to grade it that they don't remember that you 
turned it in late XD.

Educational use sounds good to me.  It gives us a very definite set of 
applications for our pc which will be great for defining our goals.  We 
do need to decide on if we will be making computers for individuals, a 
few computers to be located in a classroom, or a computer lab of sorts.  
After some thought, the computer lab might be the most useful, as it 
would allow for the greatest use by the most students, with the minimum 
distraction in class. This setup might lend itself to more of a terminal 
setup... I don't know exactly what to call it.  It would probably be 
pretty cost effective to build one nicer computer and run the rest from 
that.  I don't have a clue how that would work, but I am sure there are 
many options. If nothing else a computer lab setting would make setting 
up a lan pretty darn easy.

Splitting up by software and hardware should be sufficient, groups could 
be further split up from there, depending on how effectively we think we 
can get the work done.  Perhaps with some sort of a manager type bridge 
between them... not sure if that is actually needed.  Dr Howland: For 
now would it be possible to get a computer to work on? We don't want our 
software team to have to wait for the hardware team to come up with a 
system to start their work.  We can make a pretty good estimate of our 
system requirements at the start and work from there.  I really don't  
mind which team Im on, but here is who has specified a preference so 
far, and unless there are any disagreements they should probably end up 
where they asked to be.

Annnd, it doesn't look like anyone else has specified a preference by 
email, although some of you did in class. Please respond to this with a 
clearer idea of what we are actually doing, and your preference for teams.
