[Tfug] Computer history museum

[Jeffry Johnston]

Hey!

Louis Taber? The man who expertly taught our class Java after having just
learned it himself over the summer!  How are you doing?  Didn't know you
were on here.

So I have a few questions for you:
1) Is your embedded Java sprinkler system still working?
2) IIRC, you were running RedHat on your office computer at the time.. but
that was many years ago :)  What are you running now?
3) Have you seen this project? http://www.openstreetmap.org/  You can upload
your GPS info, kinda like what you did to map the Appalachian Trail.

Jeff
