The VT Boys have been working hard

This week the VT Boys have been working hard, a few weeks ago Mr.Garfield was asked to help out Mr.Mac at his work, as we had 90 Lenovo laptops to be configured for a school in Norfolk. This gave Mr.Garfield the opportunity to earn some money and gave him at the same time work experience.

Mr.Mac has set him a target of 15 laptops a day to be finished, however Mr.Garfield was a lot quicker than that, almost twice faster and before you knew it 92 laptops where done in 4 working days, wow that is very good.
The best of all was that we spend lots of time together and had breakfast at McDonalds a few times, which Mr.Garfield really likes. I am sure next time we have something coming up at work he will be invited again to do some work

The VT Boys like baking cookies

The VT Boys have been busy today, after a wash and breakfast, Mr Biscuits joined us at 12:00 as his mum taxied him over to Norfolk. It was great to see him, and Mr Biscuits had a lot of jobs for Mr.Mac to do as his external hard drive was not working and his laptop needed a re-install of the operating system.
As it turned out is was his hard drive in the caddy which was faulty not the caddy, so we but in a spare 60Gb IDE hard drive and all was working well. The laptop needed a data backup so we put it all on our new HP Proliant Microserver and that was working well too.

30 minutes later the laptop had a new operating system and drives had to be updated, and one hour later all was ready to Rock and Roll. In between we had time to make some cookies and we made all sorts - yummy. For dinner we had Lasagna and chocolate mousse for afters, tonight we are going to watch a film, however we don't know which one to watch yet.

The VT Boys have been building lots op laptops


The Builds
The VT Boys have been very busy this week, Mr.Garfield started his first job building laptops for a school in Norfolk at Mr.Mac work. He has 90 laptops to do and already he has finished 45 of them. He works really hard and I am very proud of him.
33 Laptops ready - 12 more ready in the office - Wow
Mr.Garfield enjoyed the drives to work and working around other people in Mr.Mac company. He has been staying in Mr.Mac's house and we have been watching Men in Black, a very good film.
Laptops leftover to do for next week
The way it looks he will be only coming over for 1 more week, because the rate he is working at, all the laptops will be done next week.
