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

I was out of town for two Fridays, followed by Ray being closed for "Professional Development Day" and had to rearrange my schedule somewhat to meet with professors, so my time at Ray has been somewhat irregular lately. We have a nice stack of 5 working machines here waiting to be sent out. Lately I've been seeing alot of printer-related issues that I can't really fix, so it seems like Ray could use some more printers from the powers that be.

I saw a computer today that would shut down and throw out beeps randomly, which seemed to be caused by some bad capacitors. There were two or three by the CPU that burst open on top and had a clump of brownish residue. I know once upon a time Dell replaced motherboards for free in situations like that, so I asked their tech support, but was told that there was nothing to be done since it was out of warranty. I threw it out. I don't know if CPS has some special arrangement with Dell that would help get it fixed?

Things at Ray have generally been going as normal, I hope that starting this week I can get back to my usual schedule.
