    Great agenda/minutes – I wish I could have been there.

    Does anyone know the best way to get a USB A-B cable to connect our new scanner in 109? Is there an extra somewhere? If not, would I get reimbursed if I picked on up at Radio Shack?

    Allen,
    Do not buy a cable. We have a TON of usb cables in the server room. I am at the PS on Thursday but can get you one Friday if you like.

    And I think the meeting yesterday was very productive. One thing we may want to add to the next agenda is to start getting specs and price quotes together on any hardware/software we want to purchase for next year’s budget. Also Nicole, add a topic for the next meeting for the 145 PLTW lab. I know Marty mentioned a new lab so we need to talk about if that is in addition to 145 or to replace 145 lab computers. Those computers are at the end of their life cycle and probably would not work properly with any new Autocad software installed next year.

    How about a laptop and cart for the CPS system?
