Re: computerdisc-l: Upgrades for B site

Hi,

I am an A site.  As of yet, we have not successfully locked down everything
as far as student access.  They have not realized yet just how much they can
get into so we are holding our breath but we know the day is coming that
they find out they can go anywhere they want even though the icon is not on
their station.

As far as GCAK and MicroType Pro....I prefer MicroType pro because it goes
along with our old Century 21 books and is just the upgrade of our previous
program.  The reports are printed out the same as before which I like very
much.  I guess it is just hard to change once you get used to one way of
doing things.  We have had some problems with GCAK and found out that it was
a glitch in the program.  We have been told that they will have to replace
all of our CD's which could take a lot of time.

I LOVE THE NEW PRINTER!!!!!!  It is so fast and much quieter than the old
one and thank goodness we can use regular paper!!!!!  The banner paper was a
pain especially if a student forgot to check for "added" pages on a
document.  You know...the wasted sheets.

Not sure if I have given enough information for you but would be happy to
answer any other questions.
