We just got Smartboards too! For some reason, though, they put them in the Humanities building rather than the Science building, where they would probably get more use. We want one for the library, but I have no idea where we could put it since we usually teach the archives room. (Not my idea of an ideal environment to engage freshmen, but it's what we have.)

Yeah, our IT will argue with you that you don't need Flash installed. Our equipment isn't so bad bc at least some of it comes out of departmental equipment budgets and there comes a point where you say "It's my money and I'm getting a flatscreen monitor!" Of course, we also have to have a certain level of processor and RAM to properly run our cataloging and circulation program, and they can't argure with that. Well, they can, but they lost last time and probably thought better of it when we said what kind of upgrades we needed. And they are finally going to allow floppies and flash drives in the library's public computers.

Bing had to be cool at some point, or he wouldn't be so famous. I don't mind a little Bing myself now and then. ;)

My kids and I discovered last semester that Bing sold more records than anyone else in the 20th century, including Elvis. Someone had to think he was cool!! :)
