Web Manager/Author Comments: These series of pages were initiated when I worked as the computer guru at Harding High School in 1996-98 and were intended to introduce and provide easy reference for the teachers and students at Harding. Most of the material was applicable at that time and some remains still very useful. At this point, I am using the latest versions of the Mac OS and have not included any references to any of that in these pages. Use what you can from these pages.
