The General Managers reported that they had two new monitors. Nothing at all had been accomplished for the Letter to Tien. The Site Manager announced that Alan Coopersmith tweaked the OS on apocalypse so that it wouldn't crash as much. There was a staff meeting on Wednesday. We have 4500 users. There were new donations (lots of memory). We also got a Sun keyboard, mouse, and two monitors. The password synchonization software is still on hold. Po wants to do IRC work. Majordomo was worked on by David F. There will be a new user drive in August. Apocalypse might be open for general use in May. The Help Session Representative reported that Help Session are cancelled for the rest of the year since there were only two teachers. The EJC Representative reported that she quits as there are no more meetings.

The Letter to Tien will wait until the general managers talk to John Percival and Jon Kuroda. Hopefully it will be done by next week. We must spend our budget by May 2. The two ideas so far are buying one U1/140 or two SS20/75.

The next BOD meeting is scheduled for Monday at 7:30pm.

The meeting was closed at 9:02pm.
