[GRLUG] Computer sale at GRCC

[Michael Mol]

More specifically, my mother works at GRCC, and I occasionally call to
ask if the plans for semiannual PC sale have been settled yet.  They
don't do any marketing of the sale, or aeven ny real announcements
outside of to-all-staff broadcast messages (If that; I've never been
staff.), so when students and non-students find out about it, it's
usually by word of mouth.

I'm out of that loop, so I periodically call in to find out the latest
rumors. :-)
