Micro Store. For details please contact Tamar Arbeli at 65-84217.
o TIMBUKTU: Timbuktu Pro (Farallon Inc.) is a program that provides
services that allow the control of a remote computer. There are
client and server versions. The client version, allows the technician
from the computation center to connect to your computer at home or at
the office, and fix most of the problems remotely. The server (or
full) version has the added advantage of "taking over" and
controlling, for example, your computer on campus, from home. The
program is both for MAC and PC - and even better - you can control a
MAC from a PC and vice versa!!! Note:- The Computation Center has
managed to obtain a special deal for the CLIENT version. Please let
us know if you are interested. Send your e-mail, with SUBJECT heading
"Timbuktu", to:- shirley@cc.huji.ac.il.
ADOBE ACROBAT: MAC and PC users who are interested in buying the full
version of Acrobat, which allows the creation of PDF files (for about
$100 a copy), please send mail to edna@cc.huji.ac.il.
