Fall 2010: Boot Picker Updated

I recently updated boot picker on all of our dual-boot iMacs and MacBook Pros to 2.1.2.

I was also sure to brandish the bootpicker with our most recent Desktop Wallpaper (I jokingly call OS-Slate)...

OS-Slate - Fall 2010 Desktop Background

The boot-picker will have new titles (to fit the more modernized look & feel of the machine) despite the older operating systems. (10.5.8 & XPSP3).... some will have 10.6.3 & XPSP3 while our experimental machines will have 10.6.3 & Win7.... I haven't determined where these will sit yet... but I will let you know.

Preparation for Spring 2010 (Imported)

Howdy, folks---
We are well under-way in restoring our fresh image across campus;  In addition, we are cleaning and reorganizing the learning spaces.
So far, areas that are completed are:

Wolfard 203;  Wolfard 204

Please be on the look-out for our new blue desktops!

AND, feel free to report any non-functioning workstations to UT by contacting:

Thinking out-loud....

Here are a few possible desktop profile scenarios that I was pitching the my supervisor at the time... about how to handle personal desktop and files.
*go figure we'd head to universal logins.

At any rate... here are some of the configurations for local vs. roaming profiles.
