Network Update

Spring has come and it is time to make plans for summer projects.  I will be creating a new technology plan, as the last "5-year" plan has been completed.  My intention this time is to focus more on individual's needs and less on strict replacement by tag number or year of existing computer purchase.  I will be in close contact with department chairs and support staff to determine the critical needs with each department.

I still have a few remaining Win95 computers left to upgrade to Win98.  If you are one of the people who has yet to be upgraded, call me and let's set up a time for doing so.  Upgrading to Office 2000 will be accomplished at the same time.

I have been able to put together a multimedia cart with laptop, projector, VCR, and zip drive for use by faculty in the classroom, for brown bag presentations, for workshops, or wherever there is a need.  Please contact me if you are interested in using this cart.

REMINDER:

Remember to always call your Network Administrator for issues with your computer and connectivity.  I will advise you whether to call the help desk or if I cannot handle the call, will probably make a help desk call request myself.  The help desk is to be call first only on GroupWise or PeopleSoft issues....

Also, I cannot repeat too many times,  update your virus protection (Norton Corporate Edition) often and scan your computer often. Workstations as well as servers have been targets of the viruses that are going around.  Save your data often and be sure you have a backup on the server (your 'H' or 'I' folders).
