New Projector and Presenter in Checkout Program


For your convenience Systems Support is consistently trying to update the checkout program with new and innovative products. Two recently added items for the checkout program are a Lenovo M500 projector and a Logitech cordless 2.4GHz presenter. Both of these items will make your presentations more professional and convenient.

The Lenovo projector is a small device perfect for portability but at the same time packs a powerful projection system. To compliment the new projector a Logitech cordless 2.4 GHz presenter was also purchased. This tool features a timer with silent warning to let you know when the presentation should be ending, simple forward/back controls, integrated laser pointer and much more! To add its convenience this device is simple to use and is a plug and play device which means there is no software to load. To check one of these items out today call 438-5740 to reserve these items and many more.

Internet Explorer 7 (IE7)

Microsoft has replaced Internet Explorer 6 with Internet Explorer 7. Systems Support will now install Internet Explorer 7 on new computers and computers that need to be rebuilt. If you would like to receive Internet Explorer 7 sooner, please call 8-5740 and we will be happy to install it.

Internet Explorer 7 uses tabbed browsing—the ability to display multiple websites in the same window. Instead of cluttering up your desktop with multiple windows and taskbar buttons, you can use a single Internet Explorer window to hold all of your websites.

For more information and tutorials, please visit Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 website at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie
If your job duties require you to interact with a website that uses Internet Explorer 6, please call 8-5740 and we will be happy to install Internet Explorer 6.
