Hi, Chris,

Gosh, I hardly got to Wadsworth much last quarter!  Will try to do better for the rest of the year ... And in fact, if you remember would you please pass along to Ms. Warden the notion that we still could/should try to totally backup the functioning server and repartition it.  And on general principles we should be doing backups -- I think putting them onto the other server via the network was the best method of those we tried.  Let's look at that together soon, and whether or not we schedule the reformat you could maybe take on a routine precautionary backup.  

Are those Dell laptops a recent donation?  I'm more familiar with two carts of Dell laptops from "official CPS" sources, up in a third-floor classroom-serving-as-lab.  Are those a different batch?  In any event, do you happen to know if the cart-bound sets of laptops are being used (and are worth using)?

Thanks for keeping things so smooth,
