Main Report or Narrative:
Last week I made a sign-up sheet for teachers to use who wanted any sort of computer help. This week I had two teachers who signed up.

One, Mrs. Daniels, I think, had a very old secondary computer in her class room for which a did a virus scan and removed a couple files and then some software that seemed extraneous. This took a while simply because of computer speed. I also did windows updates on her classroom dell.

The second, whose name I can't recall right now, has a broken laptop and a new laptop. She wants to try and recover some school-related files from the old laptop. I told her that as long as the problem with the old laptop wasn't a problem with the harddrive, then it could be relatively simple to get the files, but would require some equipment that I don't have at the school, namely a harddrive enclosure. I've also never done anything like that before, so I emailed Erik asking if CUIP has the necessary equipment and if he could possibly assist me in doing the file recovery. I haven't heard back from him yet.

Lastly, Mr. Miller clued me in to a teacher who hadn't signed up, but who wanted ThinkWave on her classroom computer. It turns out I hadn't put in the activation code when I initially installed it on her machine, so I did that, and ran Windows Updates for her.
