Re: wishlist

[Mary <sweet-soo@yahoo.com>]

For the Friends of the library, a complete system (low
end pentium, 32 megs RAM - to handle their database)
is needed, and a modem and a printer also, but I
presumed that would depend on availabilty.  If no low
end pentiums are available then we don't worry about
them.  

As for rest of the wishlist, I agree with Kathy. 
Modems and printers are nice, but only if available at
the end of the day, or if they specifically asked for
one.
