Printers and peripherals will be ordered in the next couple of weeks. Delivery schedules cannot be guaranteed, but if history is a predictor, we should be able to receive and install these before the beginning of fall semester. Residence hall clusters will benefit from the equipment removed from Schnabel 33. If you notice a decrease in your incoming mail, you may want to check to see whether you're still receiving mail from all of your lists.

Any computer can break.
Any user of a computer can do things that will cause problems. We strongly recommend you store important files on the network, or back them up to the network whenever they're changed. If you choose not to do that, at least back up your files to floppy disks or some other medium. On your home machine, we heartily recommend you use a tape, ZIP drive, or rewriteable CD drive to back up your important files, and that you keep a copy of a recent back up in your office or some other place outside your home. Installation instructions for most software will recommend you close all programs running in Windows before you proceed with installation.
