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

Tues 1/15 - Spent the day with Mitch, Terry, and Mr. Wearring getting updated on the new goings-on at Sexton and the new changes to CPS technology.  Tried to get the scanning feature on Ms. Washington's printer to work, but no success initially. Afterwards, I helped Mr. Wearring with his afterschool tech class, where we talked about what Software.

Thurs 1/17 -Worked on 2 computers Mr. Wearring had that were malfunctioning [Dell Optiplex 755]. One of them had issues connecting to the CPS wireless network, but running the wireless config from the adm01 fixed the issue. The other had issues starting up due to a memory issue [according to the diagnostic lights]. It turned out that 1 of the sticks of RAM either wasn't compatible/had failed because removing the component allowed the computer to boot up properly. It also seemed as though the 4th DIMM slot wasn't working because placing the sticks of RAM were working in slot 4 gave the another memory warning and the computer wouldn't start up.

Tues 1/22 -  Worked on another Optiplex 755 that was having memory issues. Seemed to be the RAM again being either broken or incompatible. Installed one new stick of RAM that got the computer to work again, but it was only 512 mb so the computer ran pretty slowly. Mr. Wearring had a box full of other RAM, but none of the cards seemed to work properly. They were all "Hynix" brand. There was a 2nd unit that also needed memory, but the RAM we had also didn't work in that computer. We also decided it would be a good idea to upgrade Ms. Washington's computer with one of the newer units we had [Dell optiplex 380] before trying to fix her scanner again. the computer however was having motherboard issues but still under warranty, so we have to wait for the technician to show up. After school, I helped out with the tech class again, where we continued our discussion on Software.

Thurs 1/24- The issue came up with trying to install the deep freeze console so we could freeze/thaw all the computers in the lab at once, and neither I nor Mr. Wearring were 100% sure how to set it up [have emailed Mitch and Terry for assistance]. Also, need to get access to the techco account on one of the computers in the lab that Mr. wearring wants to use as an
