Brian, I won't be in on Tuesday or Wednesday next week so you can use that time slot for something else. <div><br></div><div>Chris, Brian told me that the finance computer was the "cleanest" computer he had seen at the IMC so I'm not sure what downloads, etc you were talking about. I did not do personal browsing or downloading. Furthermore, we used to have remote access, until about a year ago, so I'm not sure what you are referring to there either. </div>
<div><br></div><div>What I can tell you is that it has made a significant impact when Jason and I both need access to the finance computer at the same time. I appreciate all that tech has done for the finance computer, and I don't think anyone is demanding anything, but we ask a lot of our finance folk without providing the tools to do the job efficiently. </div>

We should budget about two hours per person. I don't anticipate issues,<br>
but there is always a possibility of something unexpected occurring.<br>
<br>
Yes, each user (Joy and Wayne) will need to bring the computer they want<br>
to use for remote access. This means your laptop and power supply or<br>
even your desktop computer. If it's a desktop, you only need to bring<br>
the case - not the monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables or anything else.<br>
<br>
Here's when I'd like to get you set up:<br>
<br>
Joy, let's go next Wednesday, September 29, at 11:00am.<br>
<br>
Wayne, let's get you set up next Wednesday, September 29, at 2:00pm.<br>
<br>
If those don't work for you, please look at my calendar and propose<br>
another time.<br>
