Main Report or Narrative:

There wasn't much going on on Tuesday, so I checked on Ms. Alexander's computer again.  It still hasn't been found by the network yet, so installing the sync software is impossible.  On Thursday, I installed some media manipulation programs on one of the media center computers, just to see if it would work.  There is some great free and open source software out there like Scribus and The GIMP.  I'll probably install them on the other three computers soon.  I got hit with a bunch of projects five minutes before leaving on Thursday, so Friday was where all the action was this week.  I tried to set up a fax machine for the school counselor.  Unfortunately, the HP printer doesn't come with the kind of cable needed to hook the fax machine up to the printer, and there is no internet outlet in the counselor's office.  So, I had to look online and find the type of cable that we need.  Mr. Laws is going to buy one soon, apparently, and be reimbursed for it.  Next, I needed to fix Mr. Taylor's Rapid-Eye.  The program was installed, but not set up to receive data from the cameras.  By copying the settings from the Vista laptop, it was relatively easy to figure out.  We still need to figure out a way to save the window settings, so that the cameras always appear in the order that Mr. Laws wants.  By this time, it was past 2:45 and Mr. Hinton had gone home, so I STILL couldn't talk to him about online resources about the Constitution.  I really have to track that guy down.  Mr. Laws also asked me about getting video from rapid-eye onto a DVD.  I think we just need a burner for that, but that will be for next week.
