Hi,
The following updates have been made:
*Minimum MB requirements changed from 64 to 128 on macadmin.html page
*Mac OS 9 updated from 64MB to 128MB for Institute business
*Mac OS 7.6.1 de-support date 6/30/2000 added
*TechMail removed
I have contacted Karen Fortoul about removing the Y2K statement. Once I
hear from her I will contact Kevin about removing it, as well as updating
the ECAT and Ksign information that appears on the main pages. I don't
have access to them and cannot make those changes.
There is no definition of "Full Support" on the pages as they exist now.
I will wait to hear from your team regarding changes to ADSM, BetterTelnet.
Regarding the download link, the team decided that it was best to point
people to a page of information that contained a link to the download site
or a site that requires a certificate. I can't make that change without
consent from others, so I have left it as is.
Kris
