Saturday July 13th … computer orientation.

I started the day off at the sim lab as part of the 2nd batch of students to attend computer orientation. The first batch started at 8am while I got to sleep in and went in at 10am. We received out Dell Latitude D630s with Windows Vista and a whole bunch of dental related software installed onto the computer.

The orientation was held in the sim lab and although I joked about them showing us how to drag a file or turn on the computer, there was actually very helpful instructions on how to get onto blackboard and other school related websites. That and we had to check off all the stuff we received.

The laptops are very cool and I’m able to keep everything in one place but they are annoyingly slow and outlook, which is what I use to keep track of my life, has a tendency to freeze and become unresponsive. Aside from that, I like having this laptop around and I’m gonna see how long I can keep up being, for the most part, paperless.
