<p><b>Main Report or Narrative: </b>On Monday I got right back to getting the donated computers up and running. When I booted up one of them it had an error about there being no hard drive- I figured a cable was just disconnected or something so I opened it up. There actually was no hard drive in it, so I put in one that was sitting in the closet and got it running. It's only about 6GB but I figured that was better than nothing. I also spent some time in the closet rummaging around for monitor cables for two of the compaqs, which have different jacks than all the others. I never found them. I also put one of the fixed computers in Mr Tudor's (not sure if I'm spelling that right) room- his computer died over the break. My guess was hard drive failure, which I was kind of worried to tell him until he told me he kept all of his stuff on his flash drive. That made my job a lot easier- I just swapped out his computer with a working one. Today (Wednesday) I ran into a teacher in the office while I was signing in who was having trouble with a scanner that someone from Assisted Technology (or something) had tried to install but couldn't. I took a look at it, and it was missing the USB cable to connect the scanner to the computer. She still had the box, but the cable was nowhere to be found. I went looking for an extra one in the office and computer lab but couldn't find one. I know they were going to order USB printer cables, but I don't know if they have been ordered/arrived yet. They sure need them. I also hooked up a second computer that was in her room- it just needed to be hooked up to the monitor and internet and plugged in. Then I tried to help another teacher with wireless issues- but the network doesn't broadcast its SSID and neither I nor anyone in the building knew what it was. I told him to try cps, canter, etc. but nothing seemed to work. It also could have been something with his computer, but I don't know enough about wireless to say exactly what the problem was. The rest of the day was on donated computers- here's the current list:</p>
<p>10 ready to go donated computers (these are the ones by Ms. Banks desk, not counting the ones already distributed)<br>
2 Compaqs that need different monitor cables (I looked around for the cables and didn't find them, although they might be in the library which was locked today)<br>
4 donated compaqs that I couldn't get to work (these are by the window, labelled "Don't work")<br>
13 old/broken computers under the table for removal<br>
A few donated computers still in the storage closet (no one with the key is around to let me in today)</p>
