<strong>Total hours for week: 4 </strong>

<strong>The School:</strong><strong> Ray School
</strong>

<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> Tech general

<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>

Still more and more broken old Windows 2000 machines to fix... For most of these computers, increasing the virtual ram size and registry space allocated alleviates the problem, and defragmenting the hard drive greatly improves performance. For some, however, a process belonging to Trend Micro Antivirus eats up all of the computer's hard drive IO, causing a bottleneck that hinders any other program.

Aside from that, it is great that logistics regarding use of the computer lab has been greatly improved, and as a result, more teachers seem to be willing to use it. (I am also happy to report that I can now get access to the lab as well.)

<strong>Thought of the week: </strong> For future planning, it seems to me that the CPS could benefit greatly if it were to switch over to using Windows terminals rather than buying/leasing desktops every few years. This could solve the reliability problem, as well as save a considerable amount of time and money after the initial switch is made... Just a thought.
