Has It Been That Long?

I just realized that I haven't posted since WAY BACK on April 26th. Sorry:(

I'm up to my butt in Dell Computers. I got a project installing and upgrading the computer systems in the office where Jen used to work, Dogwood Stable. They have been using a patchwork of various computers to run their office and things have degraded to the point that they were having daily problems and the support that they were getting was a guy that was already stretched - sometimes it took DAYS to call back and longer to service.

Now I have 6 Dell Dimension 5150's in the extra room and I am upgrading them all to XP Pro and installing the various software that each person uses.

The plan is to get the computers as upgraded as possible prior to the deployment so that day can be spent hooking up the and configuring the network.

The server is off at the Network folks place getting the install done and upgraded.

I'll be busy for the next few weeks but it beats sitting on my butt:)

The biggest problem is that it smells like new, hot, computers in the room.

I do get to take some time as I wait for the UMTEEN install patches to do their thing - about two hours per machine.

Thank God for TIVO.
