Hi, Katie,

So, now that you've checked-in here as an end-user, how do you like the functionality of the Reporting site?  Anything you find you're itching to change? Thanks again for the work you did this summer building it!  

We're having an ongoing conversation about the "coin cell" batteries that clip on the MB and keep the BIOS-CMOS data.  (Watch for some postings or emails about these and the role the system date may have in mistimed Maintenance Mode status.)  While you're salvaging parts from abandoned computers, you might want to add these batteries to the list of what's worth collecting. 

If you get a chance, see if you can chat (I mean talk) with Russ about the iPads at Harte.  It's great that you've been able to help the teachers with managing these.  We'd also like to encourage them towards handling these in a more uniform way and less individually -- not that we have a specific plan, either!

You mention restarting the server.  Was it down, or was this more like a planned reboot?  And did you get to observe the RAID Controller low-level software?  I hope the disk we replaced is now in a green condition!

Thanks again,

  ==Mitch
