Agenda Notes Action Status

Naming of BT printers (28th March)

Kate Dingley had asked whether there is any chance of getting the corridor printers renamed with user friendly names so that you can see which one you are sending to. They are both called UOP bt etc , but the description "b+w" or colour are so far along the drop down that you cant see them until after you have selected one, and it appears in the print dialogue box.

SB agreed to take this up with the LAN team. Ongoing until summer.

Netscape version (28th March)

Amanda Peart is teaching JavaScript as part of the WECPP MSc Web client programming unit. We teach this in A0-29 and A0-30 but the WECPP SWS is in Mercantile M4-2. JavaScript versions implemented in different versions of Netscape have introduced different features. Can we have Netscape 6 available as well as 4.78?

EK reported that ISO were reviewing browser provision this summer.
