Joe Campbell volunteered to work on the 36 computers from CBRE. We will set him up in the present lab beside the present computers. The exact configurations are not known but it was decided to try to build them to Windows 7.

Mrs. Marianne Stockert has also volunteered 40 hours so she will help the computer builds along.move along.

Tom Meyer volunteered to move software from Windows 2000 to XP for teachers in the classrooms. When considering the wiring needs, Joe Volpe suggested that the subnets be in order and that a managed switch be placed in the closet outside the faculty room as well as another in the lab. More ports will be needed. Jack we put your name in as lead for this with the domain change. We are investigating everything that is needed to put a new lab in place. With the computers from the lab at St. Rose of Lima (Windows 7 and Office 2010), we could have one next door to the current lab. They have computer tables also which is a big break. Joe will lead the path for wiring for electricity and network cables with his crew as well as any newcomers.
