I used internet access for two things 1) email 2) updating the school's web page. Both of which were to keep parents, sponsors, and team members who stayed home current with what the team was doing. Well, ok, a little personal business but that was just because I was plugging my own laptop into the ethernet jack at the SOAP booth (which I appreciated a LOT Thanks!) And at that I set up the files and wrote the email BEFORE I plugged in so tha tI would not hog the line.

I agree with you, I used the computers to (at least try to) update the school website and send e-mails out to the team's parents telling them that everythign was ok and how we were doing in the matches. I will admit I got on AIM for a few minutes, but I was Im'ing a friend who stayed home with the numbers of our matches for him to video tape. Also, we had power problems and the video recordings didnt work at all. Does anyone have video(s) of Friday and Saturday broadcast over NASA TV? If you do PLEASE e-mail me at miketwalker@cfl.rr.com and if you could copy the tapes I could reimburse you. Thanks very much.
