Tuesday: I think I will make an offer to teachers to bring in home PC's for us to look at during down time. This will give each of you experience in working on computers and trying to figure out what is wrong with them. We will be very busy again in early December with the Middle School but we have a little time now. We'll try it and see how it goes.

I worked on the IBM computer that was in the lab and delivered that back to the special ed classroom. Then I turned on the nurse's laptop to hopefully load some programs on it from a cd she had, but there wasn't really anything to install on the cd. so I just turned it off and put it away.
I went to mrs. farris's room and reinstalled the 2015 computer it wouldn't print for them and I took the lesson 1 quiz.
Today I made patch cables. It's been a long time since I made one of those.
Today Richard and I went to Mrs. Downing's room and looked at the games that she wanted working on the student computer.. It wasnt a cd-rom problem, one of the games needed a 8 bit color, but we couldnt go that low and the other ones had files missing so we didnt know what to do. We came back to the HS and made CAT 5 cables for the MS Lab, 4 feet long.
Today Evan and I went to Mrs. Downing's room and tried to get the games she had to work. This did not go very well. The computer needed to run at 8 bit video setting, while the computer only went down to 16 bit, with another 32 bit option. Seeing as neither of these worked, we concluded that she needed a computer with windows 98. After we got back we started making patch cables. I did one end, and it worked. Then I was assigned to do a whole one by myself, but I am still slow at it so I did not finish before the end of the hour.
Me and Adam made pathch cables that didnt go so well. That took almost 30 minuets because they wouldnt work then we went to Mrs. Downings room. She said she want an older computer???? So she didnt have to go out and buy new games. thats the 1st I have heard of somone wanting that.
After making and re-making a patch cable because the tester was messed up, Cole and I went over to the elementary to the kindergarten room. She wanted us to install some really old software on an XP machine. There was an I Spy game that needed a screen resolution of 8-bit and the machine could only go down to 16-bit. Then there was Trudy's Time and Date which said that it was missing a file called MFC30.DLL and there was another program called 1st Grade Jump Start which needed a file called WING32.DLL.
