Taking inventory tells us "how many do [we] have now", which is kind of an important thing to know. Combined with a graduate count and class schedule, that tells us approximately when we will need more donations, and gives us an idea of which materials we have a surplus of. It also makes it possible to theorize about adding more classes, what the impact will be on materials on hand. Thanks to Craig, we now know that we have enough monitors for the current class, and for two to three more sessions of classes, whether kids, adults, or doubling up. By the end of summer we will be looking for monitors. So -- rough count of monitors - 52, rough count of computers - 110. Note that he looked for P2 stickers and did not find any, so hopefully we won't run across too many of those in the downstairs inventory. Theresa
