Hi, Ben,

Thanks for your report, and your accomplishments at the school!

RAM upgrades: Good to hear this went okay and seems to have helped.

OS upgrade: Yes, there is a special disk, but it's not a Ghost image.  It's just a CPS-issued Windows 2000 Pro installer with the key built in.  It doesn't provide Office or in fact any non-OS software.  Nonetheless, it's the one to use.  Make it a clean install, and accept the option to format the partition. We may have given you a copy earlier, or there may be one in the lab storage cabinet or desk.  It's not a printed CD with Microsoft logo etc, just a locally-copied disk in a paper envelope.  If there isn't one available at Canter we'll get one to you.

Teacher projects: Russ will get together with you about this.  I don't know whether there's still one that might be planned as a wiki rather than blog; but Russ will be on top of this. 

CUIP site: No, I can think of a couple different pages that might be "the CUIP website" but neither of them is a WP setup.  How about letting us know the specific URL you mean, and the problems you see in IE6.

Techco password on recently-rememdiated computer:  Often this will not immediately be the school-specific techo password but a temporary one that is set by the standard-users script.  I'll include it in the email instance of this comment, but not in the reporting blog.  (Any NSP-tech reading this on the blog who works with the techo password for your school but isn't familiar with the temp password, please ask your TRA or me.) 


Thanks again,
