I sure do miss Doug.

I definitely remember the installfests and I even have a couple cd's that a I burned and made use of the cd printing machine we had at Stratus.
The two I definitely remember were done in the education center at Stratus.

As for Bob I see that he's joined the meetup WLUG group!

Definitely good times!  I remember when Doug Waud tripped on that power cord.
At the time, we somewhat affectionately said that the machine had been "Doug'd".

I remember a talk that Doug Waud gave about computer networking.  His first
example of a network was a string with a cup at either end.

Does anybody else remember that install fest we held at Stratus Computer?  I
think we installed Linux on 20 computers that day.  I remember using a shoe
horn to get it installed on two separate hard drives for Bob Evans, who I still
see at ham radio club meetings.
