Who Should Attend the PC Refresh Training

EVERYONE! All full-time and part-time (adjunct) faculty and staff should attend these sessions, even if you are not getting a new computer.

If you are a part-time employee (faculty or staff) and you use a computer in your office, you will most likely be getting a redeployed Dell computer. The redeployed computers will also have the new programs listed above, so you will need to learn how to use them, as well.

Why Attend the PC Refresh Training

As part of the June/July 2005 PC Refresh/Redeploy projects, all full-time faculty & staff will receive new Dell computers, while many part-time faculty & staff who currently have computers will receive a redeployed Dell PC.

All of these computers will have the following software installed:

• Microsoft Office 2003, which is an upgrade from Office 2002 (XP)

• Mozilla Thunderbird will replace Netscape Messenger for Email

• Internet Explorer will replace Netscape Navigator for web browsing

• Sonic RecordNow! Plus, will replace Roxio Easy CD Creator

• Microsoft Active Directory will replace Novell for networking

While most of the changes to Microsoft Office 2003 are minimal (except for FrontPage), we are moving to a new email program, a new CD burning program, and for many people, a new web browsing program (Internet Explorer). You will most likely need some help learning to use these new programs.
