To ensure a smooth journey, join Technology on the yellow brick road!

Changes in technology are inevitable, but you are not alone! Getting through Oz and back home again is easier than you think. Just click the ruby mouse to follow Technology on the Yellow Brick Road: we are here to help you every step along the way to your new computing environment.

“Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas any more.” These upgrades are fairly significant, and so may make you feel as though you are in an odd foreign land, so we are giving the community a range of opportunities to become accustomed to the new versions(s) before they appear in classrooms, labs and general access spaces in September. If you follow us on the Yellow Brick Road, by next fall Leopard/Vista and Office 2007/2008 will feel like home.

Over the next several weeks and months, we will send you more invitations to join Technology on the yellow brick road to a smooth transition. We hope you will come along!
