Notice to new members intending to register - from January 9th 2012

I have been informed that the Double Tree Buena Vista (our host hotel) DOES now have Wireless "high-speed" internet. The cost is going to be between $10-$20 for a 24 hour period. Will find out for sure soon.

I have a call in to the Hotel Manager to find all of the specifics such as where the hotspots are and so on but after getting off with a guy at the company that provides the equipment and does the installs he said a hotel of that size should be covered very well.

So, things are looking good for live streaming audio and quite possibly video as well.

A number of you have mentioned that you would not mind donating to see this stuff happen. I'm still trying to find out exactly how much it is going to cost but here are some of the things we will need to pull this off.

*Wireless LAN Card - 802.11b/g (mine is toast but I may be able to borrow one. They are not expensive like they once were)
*Microphone - Something that will be good at picking up conversations across the conference room - USB interconnect
*WebCam - If we can go video, we will need one of these to upstream to the server
*Rental of Audio / Video Server. Probably about $50.00
*Download of Application to everyone's computer that wants to listen to stream.

This is just to let everyone know what we are looking at. I will try to get as much of this as I can. If you would like to donate (and are financially able) it will put us in a better position to make this happen.
donations@prisontalk.com

I'll be talking to the hotel Dir. of Operations tomorrow to find out for sure how much bandwidth we will have available.

Thanks,
David

Ok David I am lost what happened to the Pay Pal Icon? How do people donate? Love Barb

The icon isn't here right now but anyone can go to:

www.PayPal.com and then send money to donations@prisontalk.com

Maybe I can get a better link?

David, when would you need this by? (The donations?)

**David** · #6 03-12-2004, 04:50 PM

The sooner the better but before next Wednesday would be preferable. I could probably buy some things in Orlando but need to test as soon as possible.

Hey David,

Are you going to be in the BCS area this week? I can run some money over to you. You said you needed it by Wed. If I mailed the check today it might get there by Wed. but I'd rather you have the money before you left.
Let me know since I still don't have an address.
(Well I may have had it at one time but I've slept since then and can't find it)

Leslie who is only a hop skip and a jump from you.

Leslie,
Check your PM. I'll send you the address.

Thanks

I'm sorry that we were unable to complete the live streams. The videos will be online shortly. Anyone that donated will receive a refund.
