Trip and lab installation
Finally, the group sent one last e-mail before the second visit in an attempt to receive some kind of acknowledgment that our e-mails were being received. The final correspondence was simply a reminder or a notification that we would be returning to the site on April 27th and 28th to install 8 computers. Shortly after that Brad wrote to inform us that the center will be providing the tables and power strips necessary for the installation.

Hello Brad,
We just wanted to touch base with you and let you know how the computer project for your lab was advancing. We have upgraded eight computers for the Lessie Bates Center lab. Our final week of work will be dedicated to acquiring working mice and keyboards and searching for educational software. We will deliver and install the eight computers on April 27th and April 28th. While there we plan to do our best to upgrade the computers you currently have in the lab. We look forward to visiting the Lessie Bates Center again!

Thank you for your work. We will provide the tables and power stripes, as you requested. Please let me know about the printer needs. Also, what date will you be back ?

Brad,
We’ll be returning this Friday and Saturday, April 27-28. I believe we’ve been alotted both days to set up the new computers and work out any problems that might arise (which we hope will be minimal). We won’t have the new printer, though, as Martin is still working on getting one. When he does, he said he’d be able to install it during one of his later trips.
We’ve finally finished getting all of your computers working, so we’re excited to install them. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the week. We’re looking forward to seeing you soon. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any more questions.
