-Built in Microphone, need driver?

-Did we add AdBlockPlus to Firefox?

- HS: Repeating key (not always the same one, not always the same machine...possibly an accidental keyboard shortcut?)

- HS: On some machines the bottom tray cannot be seen; students have to switch from application to application using Alt Tab (a setting where tray is hidden can correct this, properties, and auto hide)

- HS: Students try to install the Language tools from the Tools menu (I definitely did NOT tell them to try this) and because it will not install, every time they try to type on that document an error message pops up and they have to abandon the document.

- HS: **iTalc iTalc iTalc** - (installed by the 12/11 is current plan)

- HS: Uploaded an OpenOffice doc to my Google Sites website; students accessed it on their netbooks and it opened as read only. Is this something I can change when I upload the document in the first place?

MS/HS -- We need to know if there is a microphone installed in the netbook or do we need to purchase headsets to use Skype? (Built in microphone in specifications, not currently active or working)

MS/HS -- The cart situation is a good temporary fix, but we still have 5-7 computers out on the counter 24/7. We need a better permanent solution for future and next pilot group.

MS/HS -- Locked Desktop?

2/15/10: HS: iTalc problems. sometimes the program will not access all open netbooks.
