10/11/01 - Visit Jeremiah's Mid-day Synopsis

Added a Bravenet mailing list so that I can send messages to students about updates to the Web Design section of the site and other important class issues.

Netscape and Web TV Browsers have been installed on the teacher station and ROP 6 & 7.

The Macromedia Upgrade is almost complete. Stations that have red tags on them have already been upgraded. When the upgrade is completed on all stations, we will remove the red tags.

Please take the time to send Jim Espinoza a thank you note for coming to speak to class. His email address is jespi@jespi.com.

A reminder: Please do not customize the desktops.

We have tried to upgrade all machines with Paint Shop Pro 7. If you do not have it installed on your system, please notify Robin or Lily.

Our business advisor's recommended that all web design students need to know MS Office. You can either sign up for my Monday and Wednesday night class or Anne's early morning class. If you're interested in Anne's class, send an email to amason@cccoe.k12.ca.us.

If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and you're interested in learning more about web design and development, graphics, or computers in general, consider taking classes at the Contra Costa ROP Technology Center. We offer affordable computer training in a variety of subjects. Visit our web site for more information.

Stop by my Amazon Store for gifts for the web developer.
