Usual oatmeal breakfast. To celebrate Saint Patrick's Day tomorrow, Steaven brought doughnuts and Cindy ordered 4-leaf-clover cookies—yum! Listserv management for a fraternity. Alerted staff to no longer use HTML e-mail templates I created for them and to wait for rewrites. Tried to restart the Vista test computer. It does not start properly. Ugh. Minor web edits. Reminded staff about forthcoming IE7 and Acrobat 8 Pro upgrades. Lunch: Palio sandwich and couscous (not tabouleh) with shrimp. I learned who Mario Speedwagon was. Sent Joel a copy of the March 2007 update for Cindy. Laptop setup and connection training for Joel. HTML e-mail edits and testing for Cindy. Uninstalled Acrobat 6.0.5, 6.0.4, 6.0.3, 6.0.2 for Cindy. Installed Acrobat 8 Professional for Cindy. Manual PharmAdMIT backup. Discovered that a complete installation of Acrobat 8 Professional takes up 1 gigabyte of disk space, so Cindy's computer ran out of space on the C: drive. Removed all installation options except for PDFMaker and documentation, which got it down to 600 megabytes. Cindy: disk cleanup, organized Start Menu. Shopped for a black key cabinet. For some reason, key cabinet makers only seem to make them in putty or gray. There are only 2 that exist in black that I could find. One was from General Electric which only held 12 or so keys (and which seemed for home not business use). The other was from Brinks—same thing—it holds only a small number of keys. Neither will work for us—we need one that will hold about 60 keys. Installed a new hard drive and DVD±RW drive in our server.
