Howdy..
I just created the latest and greatest classroom image to-date...
it is fully equipped, and is streamlined right around 25GB with all updates.

at the moment, there aren't any additional users or shared home acct(s).. so we are operating purely under local admin.

I am backing it up now, and will begin installing MacAdmin local processes as soon as the image completes.

For the Fall 2009, this step will be replaced with a single sign-on local home once the print charging system is in place.

Update: Firefox Extensions

If you've used 700B classrooms 310, 216, or the 601N Design studio (4th floor), you may notice the "Smart" classroom A/V podiums and integrated screens/projectors. Ad-Tech systems, our audio/visual installation contractors, have recently installed integrated screens/projectors in two additional rooms (N330 and N030) - the upstairs computer lab + video/animation lab.


The new projectors installed at Newbury Street have freed-up 2 LCD projectors which will be available for check-out once they have been checked and reconditioned for public use.
Please stay posted on available technologies!
