All-
1. UCS is going to be installing another wireless hub near 17 and
20S to accommodate use of wireless.
2. And we'll also (if I'm understanding correctly) have ethernet
access, for heavy usage exercises, and to supplement fritzy wireless
cards.
3. Electrical outlets and ethernet are available at each seat at
each table.
4. Two Gateways are in the office; more on the way. Chris E has to
set them up, etc, but I'm expecting our Gateway woes to end mid next
week.
5. The door opener on 20S is still busted.
6. Soooooo: 17S classes can move to LA on Monday. 20S classes will
need to wait until Tuesday.
7. Remember we've got those EPS computers for you to use, locked in
the file cabinets.

PS: On hooking to the projector:
PC folks: using the projector should be as easy as plugging in.
Mac folks: you may need to do all this:
a) Got to Preferences, either by clicking the icon in the dock
or by clicking the blue apple at the upper left, then clicking
"system preferences" in the drop down menu.
b) Choose "displays" in the "hardware" section.
c) If you do not have "arrangement" as an option, click "detect
displays," and give it a sec to do so.
d) Click "arrangement"
e) Click the little "mirror displays" option.
f) And that should synch up your monitor and the projector.
****) At some point, the icons on your screen may get much
bigger, because your screen is higher resolution than the projector,
and the Mac has to go with the lesser screen's settings to mirror.
****) Sorry this is sort of a pain. It's because Macs are set
up to do some pretty cool multiple display arrangement things.
****) Like, if you figure it out, you can actually put the
projector and the Mac side-by-side, so the cursor moves from one to
the other.
****) Speaking of which, if you plug in the projector and lose
the cursor, check to see if it's on the projection screen, then roll
it back to your machine.
