[nmglug] More house calls?

[Ted Pomeroy]

Brian, I talked to Doug Schocke at his shop and he is willing to help, when
he has time. That can include a pick-up and one of us bringing the unit to
his shop. He may not be able to get right on it, so don't despair. Can you
wait a couple of weeks?  Let me know and I will relay to Doug. There are
ways to retreive data even if booting is not going to work. Let me know. Ted
