One needs to know how to manipulate a mouse-operated computer. Even though Microsoft's improvement on Windows 95, Windows 98, is slated to be on store shelves mid-June, the program's changes will not impact the camp's usefulness, said Jeremy Whitley, the McMurry University computer science senior running the camp. Microsoft is mired in anti-trust suits filed Monday by the federal government and 20 states. The Attorneys General charge Microsoft is squeezing Netscape, its chief rival web browser-wise, out of the market by weaving Microsoft's own web browser, Internet Explorer, too tightly into the Windows 98 program. The camp meets from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for five days.
Lunch is included.
Enrollment is capped at 30, the number of terminals available to the camp. Need-based financial aid is available. For extra funds, the people arranging for the camp solicited local businesses. The program is being put on by the Abilene branch of Texas State Technical College, McMurry University, Hardin-Simmons University as well as the Big Country chapter of Association of Information Technology Professionals.
