Public Computers
Users of the Center can find computers
on all three floors, in the open areas,
or the computer labs. All computers run
Windows XP operating system, with standard
applications (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
Access, Corel WordPerfect) installed. All
of the computers also have CALI Lessons
installed. Additional software (Adobe Acrobat,
Transmedia Objections!) is installed on
the computers in the PC Lab on the 1st
floor.
The Center provides a large number of
high-speed laser printers (usually one
printer to four computers) and our students
have the privilege to print and collect
their documents almost immediately. The
school currently does not charge for printing
(many schools do), but the number of printed
pages is carefully tracked for future decisions.
We asks our students to use the printers
as needed, but not to abuse them.
All of the computers have floppy disk
drives, and most of them have CD-Writers
installed. Computers in the carrousels
on the second and first floor have 250MB
ZIP drives, while computers in the PC Lab
on the 1st floor have 100MB ZIP drives
installed.
Electrical
Outlets
If you plan to bring your
own laptop, you will be happy
to find that every seat in
the Center is equipped with
an electrical outlet. |

University

of Duquesne University, that
must always be followed.
