Refurbished Computers!!!


YEAH! Finally we got Refurbished computers as I was informed in an email!
What does REFURBISHED mean to you? Please post your answer....i looked it up in the dictionary.com....RENOVATE..so I got the 1998 DELLs which I call the Jack LaLanes of all the computers, bad shape, dust as art forms inside, glad I bought a data vac from J and R in Ny...so 12 lovely TANKS known as Dells came into my existance...and I could only upgrade to Windows 2000..but ok for kids just to do the Microsoft programs..So I am very proud of myself to pull parts from one to another to re-image to make one working one for a while longer...RENOVATE, REBUILD, MAKE JACK LALANE INTO RICHARD SIMMONS! hahahhahhah
P.S. I am very thankful that we have some computers for our kids to work on...Thank you to the Main Tech Department for getting something for us!

What???!!!! No Keyboards?


Oh No! you have got to be kidding? No very serious. I was approached by one teacher who stressed to the Queen of Tech (me) ...well, I'm going to take out the keyboards from the computers and the kids can use the mouse for everything. WHAT????????????? was my answer? Yes this person uses the computer every day. Very serious...not kidding...so I explained very politely and calm that you need the keyboard for the kids with all the other stuff for the computer.
As quoted to me from the tech dept when i told them this (as the laugh of the day)
Yeah, its like cutting off your right arm because you have a left arm to do it all!!!
hahahhah ....everyday is an adventure. I really do love working with different people ..all kinds of personality, everywhere, and at any moment..I try not to laugh at what happens at the moment but sometimes you just have to!
