Main Report or Narrative:

Tuesday, spent the day checking things out in the computer lab.
Thursday, chatted with Mr. K for a bit then went to room 217 to check out another broken printer.  in that room there are three computers all hooked up to one printer.  i don't think the students use the printer very often.  after a little tinkering i think i have this one working ok. next i return to the computer lab.

over the two days i found that, most of the computers have all proper logins working, and connect to the internet (although the connection of the wireless computers in the center of the room isn’t so great, and frequently kicks you off).

The only computer that doesn’t connect at all is one of the wireless computers –the one with its monitor facing toward the door—it also has a different login screen (uses techco and school, but no student login), and the mouse and key board only seems to work occasionally (they work just fine connected to the computer next to this one).  There is a wireless antenna of this computer, and D airlink has been installed, but won’t open—“no card found” also, there are no Office Scan, 1st Class, or accelerated reader programs installed.

Most computers also have MS office, as well as Accelerated reader, 1st class, and Impact programs installed.  (I don’t know if A.R. and 1st C. are important, but since they were on most of the computers, I made a note of the ones without them.

…1215U doesn’t have A.R.
…107U doesn’t have  A.R.
…105U doesn’t have MS office
…109U everything works, but the display is very pixilated, especially when on-line.
…102U doesn’t have A.R.

…101U, everything works, plus adobe photo deluxe is installed on this computer, just thought I’d make it known, it’s a neat program.  ^.^

when i was there on Tuesday, i believe that computers 107U and 110U also didn't have MS office.  either it was installed in between my two trips, or i just hallucinated it.  which i wouldn't doubt, seeing how hot it gets in that room, crouched over those tiny chairs.
