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

[Phillip Coleman]

I agree with Joey, I definitely think an educational setting would 
really help us refine our goals, and make the project seem closer to 
home.  As far as having a terminal setup, we will have to examine the 
difficulty in setting up a system like that, and then further how many 
terminals will be connected to the main computer. 

Some ideas for groups would be software, hardware, networking, 
distribution, and management.

I don't have much of a preference but I feel I could do the most work on 
the software team.

See you all on Monday,

Phil
