We will provide instructions and assistance with configuring standardized operating systems such as Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Mac OS 9 for use on our network. Support also is available for the Internet Explorer web browser and Outlook Express mail client. If you bring a notebook computer and wish to have access to our developing wireless network in the Great Oaks Hall of the Milliken Science Center, you will need an IEEE 802.11-compliant type II extended PC card. The Lucent Gold WaveLAN PC card is one possibility. Because the Wofford campus is fully networked it is possible to print to the laser printers in the Academic Computer Center from anywhere on campus.
Personal printers are convenient and fairly inexpensive, though.
An inkjet printer is a good choice. Professional is a good choice for the office suite. We support the Office 2000 suite of applications, as well as Outlook Express for email. Antivirus software, such as Norton Antivirus or McAfee VirusScan, should be installed on your computer and updated regularly. Internet Explorer 5.5 is available from the Information Technology web server for free download.
