I spoke to LaCava an he said you now have your external hard drives. The problem is that they may still have content on them from the last teacher. If give them to LaCave this week, he will archive the projects for the last teacher and clean the drives up for you. He said they will be available the week after spring break. 
 
Also, some of you were experiencing slow performance on your teacher laptop (a constant spinning beach ball). I gave LaCava a couple of ideas on what might be causing it. Talk to him about resolving the problem.
