Good Afternoon,
Since it is a large effort to review these pages and associated links, I will
send along feedback as time allows.
From <http://training.mit.edu/products/test.html>, I navigated to
<http://web.mit.edu/is/desktop/macadmin.html>. It notes: A minimum of
64MB RAM
is recommended... Could we please update this to 128MB? Ginny, Jonathan,
Marshall...any objections to the 128MB revision?
From <http://training.mit.edu/products/test.html>, I navigated to IS-Supported
Software Products: Macintosh
The "NOTE" should be updated...
Note: Several key services (ECAT 1.0/2.0, a web-based purchasing system
enabled by Ksign and Netscape, Tether, MIT's remote access PPP dialup service)
are not listed below, as, they are services, not products.
ECAT 1.0 and Ksign are retired.
Note: This is NOT a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure. For Y2K information, see
the MIT Project Year 2000 web pages. I am in favour of removing...Kris, would
you mind double checking with Karen Fortoul?
Acrobat Reader -- do we define "FULL Support" any where
ADSM -- could we ask Dave Kalenderian to click through this product?
Ginny/Jonathan, we should follow-up with Dave about placing
this installer on the 'software locker', so, it is possible to acquire the
software via MIT certificates
BetterTelnet -- it is noted as "MIT-licensed". We did create an installer;
however, we did not license it (as it is freeware, true???). Also, could we
point the download links to
<https://web.mit.edu/software/mit/macos/mit-better-telnet-2.0.bin>?
MACOS -- Could we note June 30, 2000 as the desupport date for MacOS v
7.6.1? Ginny, Al, Marshall...any objections?
-- Under MacOS 9, could we update the 64MB to 128MB for
Institute business? Also, do we wish to shade MacOS 9 at this time and
include
the "RECOMMENDED" label?
TechMail -- please remove...it is no longer viable in our environment :-)
Will write a separate note for Windows.
Thanks,
Theresa
