[Cialug] Request for Assistance.

[Theron Conrey]

Ed is looking to get someone onsite to assist.  He's willing to pay an hourly rate to get his dad's ubuntu box working again.  There may not even be anything wrong with it other thunderbird isn't configured properly.  I'm assuming that because he wants to get it fixed quickly and have someone show up to do it, getting his dad down to either an installfest or a lug meeting is not happening.

The ideas are good that are coming in, however, his dad is without a working system atm.  Again, the work looks to be at most an hour, and he's willing to pay if someone would go up and do this.  If no one is interested, that's fine too, I'm going to send him an email tonight before I unplug.

Would it be asking too much to ask if the father-in-law could come down to SFF/Installfest?
...of course if the email trouble is with the ISP, that might be difficult to work with from Dsm. thoughts?

However if you're flush with Karma have at it.  I'll run as the middleman so we don't flood this guy with email, so please let me know via the list who can help.
