Summary: On a Saturday in November 2004, eight ambitious students visited Harms Elementary School in Detroit to help configure 60 donated iBook laptops for the school’s brand new wireless network. After several hours of tinkering and trying, it became apparent that the wireless system would not assign IP addresses to the iBooks. The students valiantly called the vendor support and worked through several solutions, to no avail. Unavailable to make necessary server adjustments, the students were resigned to give up on the project. They did manage to clean up spyware and adware from several of the school’s PC laptops, but the main goal of the day could not be achieved, leaving them, and wonderful Principal Diaz, disappointed.
