Today I spent the whole day with a
co-worker by the name of Jonathan Levine to clean up the
Brooklyn College campus newspaper office. Actually, the work to clean up the office has taken a few days and it's still not finished. I have cleaned up the computers, which are old
Macintoshes boxen, ranging from
Motorola's
68030 vintage with the
Macintosh Color Classic up to the
G3 boxen. The work involved are to
reinstall the
MacOS, clean up the
keyboards, and suggest
upgrades for them.
I've also cleaned up the file cabinets and desks left by the old staff from the early 1990's. I've seen pictues of some ancient civilization in this office... An Earth Day celebration from some group of college activists (New York Public Interest Research Group), the campus in its worse days with peeling paint and whatnot, basketball games of years past, you get the picture. I've also found a picture of Cybill Shepherd which I guess is used in an article as well... All I can think is the idea that the campus paper was into people and things way beyond boring campus-only stuff... I should see Cybill when she goes to New York City...
