[nabs-l] voiceover resources and campus job questions

[Josh Gregory]

Good afternoon, if you're looking for mac resources, if you shoot me an email off list I can definitely get you hooked up with a couple lists. Second off, yes, sticky notes will work, you can write them and then paste them on the desktop on the OS 10 side, I don't believe these will work in Windows as such functionality, as far as I'm aware, is unsupported. Finally, if you're looking to read things off the CD or DVD, if your computer does not have an internal CD drive already there, you'll need to purchase an external one.
