First things first… CHOCOLATE!! Jeopardy - Bingo - Connect 4 combined!!! I give the answer. You give the question “What is…” Practice recording your response using the spacebar in the DiLL client.
1. Spotlight. Practice searching “mail”; “.doc”; “.pdf”. Arrow down. Show all.
2. ⌘K allows you to connect to other servers (computers) running on our network. There are 3 principal servers: PUBLIC, PERSONAL, PROJECTS. Use Personal to leave class notes/prep for lab; Use Public to update web site; Use Projects for collaborative things. ⌘K can only be used from the Finder. Same username and password as email. Task: mount the public, personal, and project volumes on your desktop.
