RM>  Pretty well.. Good classes/kids..  Due to some OTHER
RM>  people not getting their act together, I'm going to
RM>  be involved in a computer project NOW, which should
RM>  have been done this summer; annoying!
RM>  We're converting our physics lab program from Apple
RM>  to IBM.. I'm cobbling together some 386 and 486
RM>  machines which no one wanted , to make 14 IBM
RM>  Windows-based workstations.  We're reviewing new
RM>  software, have to install, convert our data-
RM>  gathering probes, etc, and write up a lab program.
RM>  Would have been a LOT easier this summer!    %-[
SK>Don't you hate that? I was involved in something like that
SK>this summer. People were dragging their feet and I feared
SK>it might be delayed until the beginning of the school year.
SK>So I shared that "I'm worried about the delay, and if it
SK>doesn't start soon, I might have to bow out, since I won't
SK>have time after the school year starts".
SK>That produced some action.
I should be so lucky.. I put in the proposal before
we left for the summer; got it back for "revision"
late July!  By the time I jumped through everyone's
hoop, it was August, and THEN everyone who could
ok it was away for THEIR vacation!  We finally got
the whole thing ok'd and ordered evaluation software
a couple days before school began.. THAT stuff just
arrived (actually, we haven't gotten ALL of it yet).
We're ordering the hardware we need next week, and
we'll be finalizing the software in the next couple
of weeks.. THEN we get to install and setup all the
IBM computers, remove the Apples, etc.. I figure
it'll be Christmas vacation when this gets done...
Grumble, grumble....
