Owen Tears apart the NEC

While discussing a bit of Gravitational Physics, Owen was able to dismantle an old (1992) NEC Desktop. We discovered that it's processor (an Intel i486 SL) was the first processor specifically designed for a laptop computer. I think in the future, we will try to put its LCD keyboard display to good use using HackADay.com as a reference. We'll need to look up how to control it.

Also, we burned a Ubuntu Boot CD for his computer at home.

SLAX OS DAY!!!

We valiantly attempted to install slax os onto some of our machines... Kevin, Nate, and Owen were in attendance. Nothing took. Owen did, however, finish building a machine for 2010's meetings.

Almost There!!!

what we did today Nathan built a a processing system on slax. Shoinece tried to put music on a HTML document. Owen was building a computer from scratch!.

Success Success Success!!!

Matt was making a program and it said that Matt was cool and that is true. also he learned how to do computer programing and how to number the lines on the program. The program had a variable, "x" and used the PRINT, GOTO, and END keywords. Nathan was putting together his computer and make the computer work. Next is to create the OS using SLAX.org!
