[info-tech] BonJour
FYI, I have had a number of issues with the free Apple program called Bonjour. Bonjour is optionally included with iTunes and other Apple products. In some configurations of Windows 7 it has been causing network interruption by adding 0.0.0.0 as the default gateway. Additionally it will cause 2012 srv errors on your Windows servers. It cannot cause stoppage of the servers but if you are scratching your head trying to figure out where these are coming from you now have the source. This is most irritating because you will spend time updating drivers, etc. and make no headway with it. Some copiers and printers now have this included with them. I recommend you shut this off! Setup the Windows firewall on your servers and block UDP port 5353 and do not let the mDNSResponder service run on Windows 7 machines.
Re: [info-tech] BonJour
Avermedia doc cams come with bonjour in their software too. However, you can get an install msi from their website that excludes this software.

[info-tech] Recycling Program.
I have had 13 districts respond with recycling requests. I am looking to see if there are any other districts that have equipment they want recycled. The cost will be $2.50 per CRT monitor (Possible additional charge for monitors larger than 17) plus transportation costs. All other equipment is recycled at no charge. Transportation costs will be divided between all districts that share a truck load. I have been told the transportation should be less than $200, and will be divided by the percentage of equipment you send for recycling. If you want to participate please respond with how much equipment you have to recycle. I need a count on the number of monitors, and also quantity of each type of equipment. Also include what timeframe will work for pickup of equipment. Please try to have this information to me by Friday so I can move forward.

[info-tech] Fw: computers for districts
Are there any districts who would like up to 5 additional 5 yr old Windows Computers? If so please read the message below, then send me a request if you are interested and I will forward your info. Thanks. --- Hello, all. I am writing with an interesting request. A member of Senator Harkin's staff contacted me looking for information on districts to which the Senator may distribute computers as part of a Senate program. We tried distributing them based on SES, which we thought would be a good approximation of need, but many of the districts that were approached turned the offer down. Our next effort is to try to locate districts that our AEAs know of that need the computers. The Senator can offer up to five computers per district, and he has 20 to distribute. The computers are five years old, and they are PCs. I would really appreciate your help in distributing this request to the other directors in your AEA and/or to your regional coordinators who might have knowledge of districts in need of additional computers. Please provide my contact information, along with a deadline of June 1 for getting back to me with recommendations. Thank you so much for your help.
