That power supply gaylord is full of both bad and good power supplies. We have 
a plastic tote out in the warehouse with good power supplies in it. If we want 
to add to our collection, we should concentrate on adding P4 capable power 
supplies, since that's what we're going to need, if anything.

Thanks for the report.

Here's my plan for next Thursday.

1. With the ADEC shipment out of the way, we have at least 8 skid spaces open 
in the warehouse. I will move the steel and wire gaylords from the workshop to 
the warehouse which will open up the workshop and make it neater.

2. Finished FreeBoxes have been staying on the shelves in the workshop. Once 
the wire gaylords are out of the workship, I can put a gaylord for finished FB 
systems (FB, monitor, kybd, mouse, pwr cords) at the end of the software 
install and testing tables. When the FB gaylord has enough gear for a Title 1 
class, I'll mark it, cover it with shrink wrap and move it into the warehouse. 
All I am likely to accomplish on Thursday is to get the FB gaylord installed.

3. We have a gaylord of power supplies in the workshop. If we test the power 
supplies, we can store the good ones in the warehouse and move the bad ones to 
the warehouse for recycling. I doubt I'll finish this task next Thursday, but I 
can start the process.

4. 3-4 new volunteers tell me they intend to show up next Thursday. Phil will 
train them to deman. We'll put one of them on the deman table and the rest on 
other tasks which require less training.

Once we accumulate at least 2 gaylords of steel, I'll borrow a pickup truck 
from my employer and make a recycling run. We'll need to empty the steel from 
the gaylords to the bed of the pickup truck by hand unless I can borrow a stake 
bed truck. In the latter case we can load the truck from the docks with our 
pallet jacks.
