[KLUG Members] Feedback on possible IT student help

[Rusty Yonkers]

I would be really interested to know how well the internship thing
works out.  I have a major database programming job that I need to
pull off and I am starting to think that maybe an intern to handle
the day to day jobs like replacing keyboards, and mice, and fixing
printer issues, and handling backups would leave me more time to
focus on the big task.
