As some of you may already know, one of our studios are up and running, the other SHOULD be up sometime next week... They NOT ONLY got us up and running they left us with a few surprises.
In a Nutshell:
- The login is your UNM ID and PW, as you would login to your MyUNM.
- We now have Adobe CS5, and CS 3 has been removed.
- The computers will delete EVERYTHING each night.
What this means to us:
Upgrade CS 5: This sounds like a good thing, and it is... but a bit of a mixed bag.
- CS5 is 2 versions newer than we expected to have this semester.
- The Adobe Cloud, is essentially CS6, two versions ahead of what we had in the machines. This will make it much easier than it would have been to work between home and the school.
- All of your instructors have had no warning about this upgrade, so all of our plans and materials are for cs3. This is going to take some time to get revised so have patient with your instructors.
You need storage:
- You can no longer save ANYTHING to the schools computer (for now). If you leave anything it will be automatically deleted before the next morning. You will need a storage device, or online storage subscription. You already have one with your Google account, its called Google ‘Drive’ it is located in the links at the top of your mail page. Drop Box is another very good site to use.
