[indiana-discuss] Some Thoughts After An Installfest Event

[Qingye Jiang (John)]

Hi Wayne,

Yes the Lenovo E680A was only sold in China. We have 50 of them for 
installfest and hands-on-lab trainings.

I am still collecting other commends from the installfest. Will probably 
send out some more in a couple of days.

Best regards,

> Can't stay too long, but just a couple of quickie thoughts.  First, the Lenovo 680A notebooks are sold only in China, is that correct?  Second, re inconsistencies in USB and wifi AP, I have experienced (I believe) similar problem with my WD Passport (USB HD) connected to one of my notebooks.  Typically that (i.e., losing & then regaining USB HD connection) happened when the OS does not supply enough juice to the USB port--at least so I suspect.  Could this be the cause of the problem with some of your notebooks?  (I.e., did they happen to the same machines?)   Just a random thought.  I have other comments, but now am just ticking my head to show my appreciations for the work the ERI is doing, and really hope to see more of those large scale installfests.
