The Vice-President shall also be responsible for maintaining minutes of all meetings, correspondence files, and records in good order to be passed on to the next Board. It s the end of the quarter and projects are being worked on more frantically. While we will do everything possible to help, most of the time, if it s gone, it s gone. It only takes a few seconds to save a second copy of a file somewhere else to be sure it s safe. It is also possible to FTP files from home directly to Skipper, instead of using a disk.
Floppy disks are still very convenient, but they are also incredibly flimsy and unreliable.
They do wear out over time. Put a disk too close to a monitor or leave it in a car during the heat of the day, and everything can be wiped out. This is not to scare anyone, just as a little food for thought before bringing in 10 weeks worth of research on a floppy. Congratulations to Todd Boostrom who has been chosen IS Commencement Speaker for the June 17 th commencement ceremony. There are a number of postings listed in the red binder in the southeast corner of the middle section of the Lab.
