Hardware and Software Support Being Discontinued
by Academic Computing

          Effective July 1, 2000, the Information Technology Division will no longer support PCs and Macintosh computers based on 486 or 68040, or earlier, technology.

          Non Supported software is software that IT will neither install nor provide follow-up support for (for example, software that is considered obsolete or software for which the desktop workstation is not sufficient to allow the software to run properly). Software in this category is determined on a case-by-case basis. Effective January 1, 1999, all DOS software fell into this Non-Supported category. Effective January 1, 2000, WordPerfect fell into this Non-Supported category. Effective July 1, 2000, Windows 3.x software will fall into this Non Supported category.

          All DOS software, all Windows 3.x software, and WordPerfect software will be removed from the General Access Computer Labs effective June 5, 2000.
