computer delivered and set up.

****email from me****

Good Morning,

I will look into adding VPN to your laptop. Essentially, VPN makes your computer think it is on the WOU campus when it's not, allowing you to access normal resources you would be able to when connected to WOU's network on campus. My assumption is that Kathy is recommending I install VPN on your computer and show you how to use it so it is easier to work remotely.

Additionally, due to unexpected staff absences and other circumstances, I will not be able to deliver your computer and system this week. I sincerely apologize for this. I will do my best to deliver and set it up as soon as possible.

I hope you are doing well. Thank you for your patience.

Respectfully,

Lauryn Aronson

Thanks for your help. There is nothing on the old drive that I need but I would appreciate it if you would 'wipe' it clean. I might have some old tests on it or confidential information about students. You might wait until later in the week to install it. Kathy is out sick (they are the ones most likely to be available to let you in) but I think they will be back on Wednesday. Thanks again. MWM.

Good Morning,

Thank you for your email.

MS Office and Google Chrome are installed. We have a new monitor for you, but we will remove (replace) only one of your old ones, so you will still have two monitors. I am not sure if we will be able to provide an old-style monitor connection type (DVI/VGA), though I will see what I can do. The laptop is a PC. You should have plenty of USB ports between your laptop and your dock. The laptop is able to connect to WiFi. It has a headphone audio port. We are able to provide you with a CD player.

Yes, I can set it up in WH 210 without you there. Thank you for the clarification as to which desk you use.

Is your old computer ready for me to take back to the UCS office (i.e. is everything saved from your desktop to your WOU network drives?)? Once I take it back, we will keep it untouched for two weeks in case there was something you previously forgot to save.

I hope you are well.

Thank you,

I would need Microsoft Office on the computer (Word and Excel particularly). I also use Google Chrome as a browser. I would be the only one needing admin rights. I prefer having at least a two monitor capability (can you keep one or both of the monitors I currently have in WH210?). In other words, the ability to connect to at least one external monitor (I am an old guy so I need a big screen). One old style monitor connection type is a plus (although probably hard to get on a new computer, if a laptop). Please make it a pc not Apple. I use multiple flash drives (and on occasion other devices) so hopefully it will have more than one USB port (four would be nice). Wireless capability is also desired. A headphone plug in also would be nice. A DVD/CD player is also desirable. Many of these things I'm sure are standard.

Can you set it up in West House 210 without me there? Kathy or Bojan could let you in. Let me know if I have to be there for installation. There are two desks in WH210 but I am the only one currently using the office (my desk is the one closest to the door). Now that Christmas is over, I will check my email more frequently so if you need more information please let me know. 

Thanks
