after some miscommunication regarding field trips between Mr. Mills and I, I started working thursday, april 10th.  I spent that day getting all the computers in lab 204 hooked up to a printer

i don't remember exactly what I worked on each day, but I attempted to swamp out the parts from a working computer into a nicer case, but the cases were incompatible with each other's motherboards, so it was a no go.  There was a computer in lab 216 (computer #34), which was having a startup error that would occur before the computer ever reached the bios.  This occured several times in a row.  I left the computer to look up the error, found nothing, and when i went back to try it again, it mystically worked fine.  Not knowing what else to do, and doubting it was a software problem since the error came before the bios, i went ahead and ran the Dell remediation discs anyway.
I also moved a bunch of discarded computer parts, mostly old CPUs and monitors from the corners and back of lab 204 into lab 216 for discarding.  Today Sarah talked a little with Joe about the possibility of donating some of the parts to another school, but monitors aren't really in short supply, and the CPUs are old and need a lot of attention and constant upkeep to work properly.

tuesday april 22nd - hooked up a computer in room 221 and ran windows updates on all the computers in the room, as well as installing accelerated reader on the machines that didn't already have it.

each day i worked was for 2 hours.
