For the past couple weeks i've been working on getting the computers up to shape in the new lab in room 204. The wiring project was completed, and the lab is mostly outfitted with some nice machines. I installed rosetta stone on all of them, and made sure they had working microphones, and then worked on some old acers trying to cobble together a couple more working computers to finish off the lab, and move one to the media center (library).

Some troubles i ran in to were win2k machines who didn't seem to have any capability to output sound. that is, when i pulled up the sound/media properties in control panel, sound output was 'grayed out'. at least one computer didn't seem to recognize its LAN card after a windows 2000 reinstall (i believe i recall the internet working properly on it before).

I'll be going in one day next week, and i'll update this post to reflect any new information.
