I managed to pull myself up from my current issues, and did the LAN testing on all five iMacs. As would be expected, they worked just fine, even though it was not as fun just being there by myself. Now since I’m getting a bit low on time, I’ve already started on the two B&W Macs (possibly three – not sure if I will use the G4 like I thought, or just use a 3rd B&W). I just put the batteries into the two B&W Macs from last year. The tower macs are just so easy to get to the battery, it is just zip-bam and you are done. I plan on hooking them up to different LCD monitors than I had last year. Will have to see how Quake deals with them, as older games sometimes don’t like monitor with a so-called non-standard screen resolution. One way or another, I want Quake ready and done by the weekend. I still have the instructions from last year. I will need to print up more Quake signs though, as I gave some away last year (because I thought I would be doing a different game this year).
I just hope I can get my homework and studying done in between getting these two Macs ready, and deciding on which one will be the 8th unit (B&W or G4 – the B&W would be easier in the short run – just copy the drive from one of the other units).
Time to get some Z’s. Later…
