Met with Craig and we came up with at replacement plan for ~11 core staff computers. Two cycles expected: 5 this summer and 6 in a year or two.

As of May 2015

Vince's computer

Mac Pro "cheese grater". Budge about $1,500 to replace.

  • Age: 3/18/2010 (confirm it's serial number H00073KD20H; MacPro 4.1).
  • Other than age, any issues?
  • Presumably replace with a Mac.
    • iMac? Mac mini?

Rosemary's computer.

Computer is still running a non-PhysIT image. Thus, need to upgrade software in order to enable effective support and ensure contemporary software. (Ex. MS Office 2010 => MS Office 2013.)

Computer is 2.5 years old (9/28/2011) so retain no matter what choice is made.

Consider keeping hardware, and use CIT's VDI service which would allow one to retain hardware even longer:

Timing: Per John, consider avoiding making changes this summer due to other factors. Michael to touch base with Rosemary to seek out her preferences.
