* Important updates and announcements will be listed below as
they are needed.

present, the drive letter for the USB device will be "G:". If the
computer does not have a zip drive, the drive letter for the USB
device will be "F:".
* When working with your lab assignments, references to the "G:"
drive may actually be referring to a USB device connected to the
"F:" drive or some other drive designation. (Based on above).
* If this drive letter designation causes you confusion, please
talk to your instructor.
* Specific updates to individual labs will be highlighted .
