Computers

Hey everyone! Does anybody know if we will get our Drew computers at orientation, or if they will be shipped to us over the summer? And which did everyone pick, anyway? I got the upgrade one, but I don't think there's a lot of difference.

You will recieve your computer during Orientation. Usually they are given out on the Saturday of Orientation. It will most likely remain that way, though it is not set in stone yet.

ooh thanks for asking, I was wondering about that! I got the cheaper one cause I didn't see a difference except for their weights... there's prob. something else of a difference though...

I dunno about you all but I cant F-ing wait to get my comp. because my desktop at home is literally on the verge of exploding its so loaded with viruses

avg has a free antivirus program if you don't have one installed.

If you do, scan with it!

The weight and size is really the only difference. The R52 (the bigger one) also has a FireWire port where the T43 (the smaller one) does not. Otherwise, they're exactly compatible.

the commercial version of the T43 also has fingerprint log-on. i was wondering if the drew version would as well.

It does not, but the fingerprint scanner does not work with the Novell Client login GINA anyway.
