[kwlug-disc] Help with sound testing on Monday, Aug 17

[Ron Singh]

Paul, thanks for doing all the troubleshooting on top of all the KWLUG work
you and Andrew have been doing for so many years.
Re: USB 2.0 hub, pretty sure I have some unpowered 2-porters, and some
powered 4-porters at my local shop. I will check to day.
Let me know soonest which type would suit you best -- though I think, best
to give you both types as a just-in-case I have both as no one will ever
need such things anymore at the shop.
I will know what I have around 2PM after meets.
Also, let me know days and blocks of time when I can meet you  for the
handover assuming I have bits.
I will email you right after 2PM re: stock/no stock. If no stock, I will
grab something from CC or Amazon to donate to KWLUG, no worries there.

*Ron S.*
