Computer Orientation

Saturday, July 9, 2005, 12:00pm

At 9:00am this morning we had computer orientation. The meeting lasted for 90 minutes. I was placed in the "Advanced" orientation. There are two other orientations today--one for intermediate and one for novice computer users. In April or May, they sent students a computer survey. Based on the results they placed us in one of the three sections. It's my opinion that if you have ever turned on a computer, you will do just fine in the advanced computer orientation.

The computers are nice. We got 1 gig of RAM, a 1.86 gHz Pentium M processor, and a 55 gig hard drive. They gave us all of our login information to access the school networks. Wireless internet is only available in the cafeteria. But, if you are in a good spot in the simlab then you can actually access it from there. They have ethernet ports at each simlab station, so if you can't access the wireless internet, you can still get connected with an ethernet cable.

So that's it for today. We report to class on Monday at 7:30am to go through some more orientation, and our first class. However, by Tuesday, we are into the full swing of things when we start Anatomy/Histology.
