For intensive scanning work or image editing, go to the Media Center, which has image editing and OCR software.
Note: These machines can be rebooted, but please ask for assistance before you refresh/reload the hard disk image. If the hard disk image is refreshed/reloaded, the scanning software will need to be reinstalled.

The iMacs are designed to run continuously - please, do not power them off.
They use Kerberos authentication, local disk for user home directories, and do not
require "refreshing". After login, you have network access to AFS and Active
Directory files. Your H: folder is conveniently placed on the right side of the
Dock for easy access. To access your AFS folder run Mount-AFS-Home-Dir.

display, USB and FireWire ports, iSight camera, Airport and Bluetooth, 1 GB of

What can you use these machines for? Mail, web surfing (Safari and Firefox) and
iChatting, for sure. Transfer files to and from your Bluetooth cell phone. Or read
mail with Mail.
Connect a digital still or video camera to a FireWire or USB port, and use the
excellent iLife ’06 personal digital media productivity tools iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie
and Garage Band to create rich multi-media content. Then publish your results to
iWeb or use iDVD to burn a DVD that is playable on almost any computer or
home DVD player.
Of course, the Microsoft Office 2004 Suite, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint
and EndNote X is also available, as are scientific applications such as
Mathematica. The X11 and Terminal program in the Utilities folder provide access
