September

The purpose of this newsletter is to point out a few things that will help students with their computer problems and some trends that we are seeing in the IT Center that are problems.

Shutting down your computer: Simply closing your screen is not shutting down the computer. Shut down your computer daily. Do not leave it in hibernate/sleep overnight
Logging into your dsadmin account: When logging into your dsadmin account the username is .\dsadmin. It must be a backslash, not a forward slash.
System restore: If you see the message when your computer boots up to do a system restore, DO NOT do it even though it says it is recommended. It will remove programs and reset passwords.
System not charging: If a system appears to not charge, remove all power sources (including batteries) and put them back in. The system is more than likely stuck in a deep hibernate/sleep mode.
The IT Center does not sell computer parts/accessories: If you need a new stylus or battery, those are sold in the bookstore

We also want to remind you of some of the computer policies that are covered in the handbook:

Do not leave your computer unattended
Do not play games during school hours (when homeroom starts until the last bell). Will result in JUG
Do not go to websites like Facebook or Twitter. Will result in JUG.

Fun Fact of the month: �Every day we create 2.5 quintillion (1018) bytes of data - so much that 90 percent of the world's data today has been created in the last two years alone.�-IBM Global, CMO Study
