040919 - Lan's work today clarified review in Fry's Sales Department on 090618
040920 - which reported that Fry's no longer has this product in inventory.
040921 - ref SDS 3 TC5K
040923 -  ..
040924 - Lan called Fry's San Jose store and talked to the manager of the Sales
040925 - Department.
040926 -
040927 -        [On 090906 1313 commend Fry's for outstanding work on c16, with
040928 -        letter to Randy Fry using Direct Connect, ref SDS 6 VG5J, and
040929 -        cite Ryan, Petrus, Joe, and Lan. ref SDS 6 ZW4N
040931 -  ..
040932 - Lan indicated that the Sales Manager advised Fry's has a demonstration
040933 - computer at the San Jose store which is missing a key.  Fry's proposes
040934 - installing an entire new keyboard to correct the problem.
040936 -  ..
040937 - Lan advised that, since this is demonstration merchandise, the San
040938 - Jose store will not ship it to the Concord store, because the original
040939 - manufacturer's shipping box has been thrown away.  They want the
040940 - customer to drive to Fry's in San Jose and make the purchase there,
040941 - then bring it to the Concord store for configuration.
040943 -  ..
040944 - This seems shaky???
040946 -  ..
040947 - Since the sales configuration is 4GB of ram, advised Lan that we want
040948 - to buy adding another 4 GB to make it an 8 GB machine, which is the
040949 - full capacity.  Lan checked and said the cost to add 4 GB of RAM was
040950 - only $60.
040952 -  ..
040953 - Lan calculated Fry's offer with the 8 GB of memory, and the 10%
040954 - discount for display merchandise, so the entire cost after taxes is...
040955 -
040956 -                     $1,734.49
040958 -  ..
040959 - During the meeting today, Lan called and talked to the Buyer for Fry's
040960 - Concord store.  She indicated that the Buyer wants to get a new
040961 - machine, rather than get the used demo from the San Jose store.  She
040962 - was, also, told by the Buyer that HP plans to provide new product that
040963 - updates the HP HDX series.  The Fry's Buyer wants to check tomorrow on
040964 - when the new updated models will be available, and possibly sell the
040965 - newer model, rather than the one being replaced.

041301 - Visited with Leo in the Service Department.
041302 -
041303 - Explaned that the order for the Qomiso will be canceled, and replaced
041304 - with the HP HDX 11800 US.
041306 -  ..
041307 - Leo feels the older HP HDX computer will be easier to configure in the
041308 - manner Harish and Petrus proposed on 090616, using the Windows XP
041309 - operating system, ref SDS 1 QU7G, rather than the newer HP technology.
041311 -  ..
041312 - Leo expects that the new HP notebook computer will compete with the HP
041313 - Qomiso technology, which has been designed to run only with the
041314 - Microsoft Vista 64-bit operating system.  He therefore feels the older
041315 - HP HDX 11800us technology will work better than the newer model for
041316 - our objective to install Windows XP as primary OS, and dual boot
041317 - Windows 7 or Vista for the 64-bit environment.
041318 -
041319 -        [On 090622 1529 Lan is still checking with Fry's Buyer to get a
041320 -        new HP HDX X18 1180US computer rather than sell the demo
041321 -        merchandise; and confirmed do not want an updated version.
041322 -        ref SDS 5 UV50
041324 -  ..
041325 - Clarified discussions with Dave on Friday.  Confirmed the initial
041326 - effort is to install Windows XP pro as the primary operating sytem,
041327 - and then install the Windows 7 downloaded from the Internet, as a
041328 - secondary OS configured for dual boot.  On Friday, 090619, Dave seemed
041329 - to indicate that Windows XP 32-bit operating system cannot be
041330 - installed on 64-bit notebook computers, 090619 1430, because notebook
041331 - computer manufacturers have designed for the Vista 64-bit operating
041332 - system. ref SDS 4 448K  Dave also advised against installing Windows 7
041333 - as the secondary dual boot operating system. ref SDS 4 A77J
041335 -  ..
041336 - Leo feels Petrux is correct that, since Fry's has been able to run
041337 - legacy 16-bit line-of-business software with Windows XP 32-bit
041338 - operating system on quad 64-bit computers, as demonstrated on 090616
041339 - 1800, ref SDS 1 4S95, the Service Department should be able to
041340 - configure a notebook computer to do the same thing.  Leo further
041341 - recognizes today that the first attempt will be to configure the new
041342 - computer with Windows 7, to discover whether this will work, and if so
041343 - then Windows 7 will be the secondary dual boot OS that supplements
041344 - Windows XP 32-bit OS.  If after best efforts, Windows 7 does not work,
041345 - then Vista will be installed as the secondary OS to have test platform
041346 - for SDS.
041348 -  ..
041349 - Leo recalls that Petrus approved this configuration scenario during
041350 - the initial meeting on 090616. ref SDS 1 7K3I
041352 -  ..
041353 - Leo will discuss with Petrus later today updated planning to replace
041354 - the Qomiso purchased on 090616, ref SDS 1 4A4K, with the HP HDX
041355 - 11800us, per above. ref SDS 0 3Y7G
