<p style="line-height: 1.4"><strong>Main Report or Narrative</strong>: Last Thursday, a teacher in an after school program requested a computer.  Ms. Johnson decided to search high and low for a "not too nice" computer, which ended up taking a lot of time: we ended up with one of the CUIP Optiplex GX400s.  The computer we found had a hard disk failure, so I put in a new disk, and then spent a while realizing that it uses RIMMs and needs those terminator sticks in open memory slots (we had an even more broken Optiplex in storage, happily, from which I could scavenge the parts).  Then remediation, etc.  I moved the computer in on Wednesday.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4">When I wasn't playing around with that computer, I looked at some computers being odd (older computers in 207 that appeared to have forgotten that they had plugins for Accelerated Reader).  I also looked at a printer that was taking a very long time to print large PDFs, and concluded that it takes a long time to print large .pdf files because it's old and has very little memory.  I managed to corrupt the printer drivers for that printer, though, so I reinstalled them.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4">Also on Wednesday, I finally took a look at the SmartBoard, which Ms. Johnson hadn't been able to get to work (although, given the solution, I don't know if she really tried).  It turned out that we just needed to install the drivers on the new computer, so now it works and she can use the Smartboard.  I also started putting labels on the new computers in the lab.  I don't know why we're putting labels on the new computers, unless we give them some new network identification that reflects the naming scheme (206-1 through 206-28, I think).  As it is, they just have more numbers on them right now, I think.</p>
