PC Community Homepage Hayward 's own Computer User Group

Our Esteemed Host -- I know I said it on the home page, but it bears repeating:

Space and access for this project have been generously donated by The Diamond Lane, an internet service provider located in Hayward, California

The Diamond Lane has hosted our page since the fall of 1996 That's ten years!!!!!! -- several lifetimes in the time frame of computers.

Because of the Diamond Lane, Schafer Park was the first K-12 school in Hayward to have its own web site. It also hosted the web site for the whole Hayward School District for a time, until the district could afford its own network setup.

The diamond lane has a close connection with some former students and parents of Schafer Park School. Details here. Thanks so much, guys!
