Good afternoon, This is just a reminder to fill out the online Microsoft Settlement application. At this point I am recommending that you apply for the 360 day wavier. A school may, but does not have to belong to a consortium and a plan for spending the money does not have to be in place until we get a final settlement. At this point there are still many unknowns on which products will be approved. Remember that you must file for the 360 day wavier or file your plan during the online application window, which is open from April 15th to May 15th at edinfo.state.ia.us.

[info-tech] eWalk Training
eWalk Installation for Palms More than 30 Palms were recently delivered to area administrators. The Palms were received through the Iowa Department of Education technology purchase. The intent of the Palm project is to facilitate walk-throughs using the eWalk software, also provided by the DE. On December 17, we are inviting the tech support person from each of these districts to attend a training and implementation workshop to install the eWalk connection between the Palm T/X and the administrator's computer. This is the setup that will be needed to perform synchronization. The purpose for bringing the computer and the Palm with its cables is to insure that all tech support personnel have the opportunity to work with Paul Shuster, the creator of the eWalk application. Without this support, the walk-through practices with the Palm handheld will not be possible to implement with fidelity. Beginning in early 2009, there will be area training sessions for administrators. The purpose of these sessions is to practice the walk-through process and to discuss creation of individual templates. Administrators will receive additional information on these sessions. The details for December 17 are: a.. Location: Storm Lake AEA office b.. Time: 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. c.. RSVP/Lunch: Let Kathy Petersen know if you will be attending on this date. Lunch will be brought in.pizza .$2 a slice..let Kathy Petersen know # of slices ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) d.. Also, let Kathy know what kind of palm or palm phone and what platform (PC or MAC). ·IF YOUR PRINCIPAL ALREADY HAS A PALM .(provided by E2T2, your school, or through a personal purchase)...we had some additional eWalk software licenses and could use them for these Palms. Contact Karen Appleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Dorothy DeGroot ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to ask about additional licenses or to get clarification on any other questions you might have. = Kathy Petersen - Administrative Assistant Prairie Lakes Area Education Agency 8 500 NE 6th St PO Box 802 Pocahontas, IA 50574 712-335-3588 Ext 2052 Fax: 712-335-5870 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Live Simply, Love Generously, Care Deeply, Speak Kindly and Leave the Rest to God!

The IEC AV/Computer Co-op web catalog is now on-line. Deadline for ordering is June 30, 2006. We should have some of the Pdfs created and available today. The rest of the Pdfs should be available by this Friday. *Remember that if you use the Pdf version of the catalog you will need to check the "Catalog Updates" Pdf to see if there have been any changes made since you viewed or printed the Pdf catalog. Pictures can not be placed in the database until after we get the catalog online so we will be doing that soon. We have made a few improvements to the site this spring including: 1) All current web browsers should now work with the site. 2) Added 'Related Items' to products so you can find accessories faster. 3) Updated product categories 4) Alphabetized the catalog categories 5) During the checkout procedure you can browse items offered by a specific vendor. This will be helpful when your order is less than $25 so that you can add items to get free shipping. See the site for further information http://av.co-op.k12.ia.us As always, please contact us if you need help with ordering or have questions about products. I would also ask you to email me if you find any mistakes in the catalog so that we can correct them right away. And a final thought it is the customers' job to follow up on their own Purchase Orders. If you do not receive your order within a couple of weeks, please call the vendor contact that is listed in the Vendor file. That vendor contact will be able to help you answer all questions. If you call a vendor and speak to someone else you will probably get run around and not get the answers you are looking for. (If the vendor is not able to answer your questions, we will be happy to help you, just give us a call) Customers also need to inspect their purchases within 7 days of receipt and report any shipping damage to the shipper and the vendor.

In the online and the PDF version of the catalog we have changed the way we list items and are now attempting to list the product headings and subheadings alphabetically. Our hope is that you can find items easier and quicker. In the online version of the catalog we are also trying to show a list of accessories within the main frame for many of our items. It is hard to explain, you will just have to wait for the experience! The prices listed are still tentative until being approved by the IEC Operations committee March 29th.

[info-tech] [iec-coop] News: FCC Digital Tuner Mandate
The FCC has notified US television broadcasters that the standard for transmitting TV over-the-air shall change from analog to digital. The three main types of digital TV are Standard Definition (good, offering the same resolution as the traditional analog system), Enhanced Definition (better), and High Definition (best). As of early 2006, it appears that analog over-the-air broadcasts will be shut down February 17, 2009, causing every analog TV hooked up to an ordinary antenna to be unable to receive TV stations. The TV could be made functional again by hooking up a digital tuner box between the existing antenna and the TV's antenna-input terminals. Or the viewer could buy a new digital TV. Most viewers will not be affected, as this change will probably not immediately affect cable television and satellite television customers, since those are not over-the-air (RF or Radio-Frequency) transmissions. It is estimated that about 60 million TV's in the US are hooked up solely to antennas. Congress is arranging to offer cash vouchers ( at least this report says so ), for the purchase of digital tuners, available to people unable to buy new digital TV's. This is the first time in over 50 years that the entire standard for TV transmission has changed. The last major TV transmission standard change was when color was added. That time, the change was backwards-compatible, meaning that black-and-white TV's still worked. This time the change is not backwards-compatible. Why am I sending this to you??? Because eventually it will affect us all and some of us sooner like today. Last week one of my large screen TV vendors called to let me know that as of February 28th, 2006, manufacturers of TV's 25 and larger could only produce TV's with a Digital Tuner, or no tuner at all. The FCC mandate also requires manufacturers to get rid of all their stock of Analog tuner TVs larger than 25 and the FCC will or may impose a fine for manufacturers found with those machines in stock after March 1, 2006. So, manufacturers have sold their current stock of analog TV's to large dealers who are selling to places like Best Buy, Circuit City, etc... who do not want to get caught with a large stock of these products either. The Good news may be that consumers should be able to find a bargain on TV's incorporating analog tuners that are over 25 in size. And, if you are not using these TV's to get over-the-air broadcasts then purchasing these analog tuner units won't bother you a bit. In the future you will be able to purchase a digital tuner converter box, if you would need it. The Bad news, for the IEC AV/Computer Co-op, is that our vendors are running out or have run out of stock for these units. I have been in contact with all of our vendors and they have very few, if any, of these machines available. I have a bid out right now for the Spring 2006 IEC AV/Computer co-op. I will probably have to re-bid the large TV's later in the spring. By doing so these products may not show up in the AV catalog right away so keep checking the online catalog or give us a call for an update. It looks like the new digital tuner models for 25 or larger TV's won't be available to ship until late March or early April. Basic information on these may not even be available until the middle of March. Manufacturers of TV's smaller than 25 can continue to produce and stock these products until spring of 2007. At that time we may experience this same problem again. I am including a link that gives you more information on this topic that, I think, is interesting reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television_in_the_United_States Call or email me if you have questions or need a large screen TV before Spring 2006.

- Original Message - From: Bud Carruthers To: AVCoop Customer list list Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 1:35 PM Subject: [iec-coop] Recall of Some Nikon Model EN-EL3 rechargeable lithium ion battery packs. Nikon Inc. is asking your cooperation in connection with a voluntary recall of certain lot numbers of its Nikon Model EN-EL3 rechargeable lithium ion battery packs. The battery pack can experience a short circuit causing it to overheat and possibly melt, posing a potential hazard to consumers. There have only been four confirmed reports of incidents of the problem worldwide, and while no injuries have taken place, Nikon Inc. has initiated this recall of the affected lot numbers as a reflection of its commitment to safety and product quality. We are asking that owners of the affected battery packs return them to Nikon Inc. for a free replacement.The Nikon EN-EL3 battery pack is provided as a supplied accessory with the purchase of Nikon's digital SLR D100, D70, and D50 cameras. It is also sold separately at retail under Nikon's model number 26265. The EN-EL3 battery pack involved in this recall was first distributed by Nikon in May 2004 and is still being sold at retail. EN-EL3 battery packs marked "made in Japan" are not affected by this recall. If your EN-EL3 battery pack does not have a lot number as indicated, please note this is not a genuine Nikon product and should not be used.This voluntary recall is limited only to those units of the Model EN-EL3 bearing the following lot numbers:First 3 digits: Recall Lot Numbers44A- 44AC46A- 46AC, 46AD, 46AE, 46AF, 46AG, 46AH, 46AI, 46AJ, 46AK, 46AL, 46AM, 46AN, 46AO, 46AP, 46AQ, 46AT, 46AU, 46AV, 46AW, 46AX, 46AY47A- 47AA, 47AB, 47AC, 47AD, 47AE, 47AF, 47AG, 47AH, 47AI, 47AJ, 47AK, 47AL, 47AM, 47AN, 47AO, 47AP, 47AQ, 47AR, 47AS, 47AU, 47AV, 47AW, 47AX, 47AY48A- 48AA, 48AB, 48AC, 48AD, 48AE, 48AF, 48AG, 48AH, 48AI, 48AJ, 48AK, 48AL49A- 49AA, 49AB, 49AC, 49AD, 49AE, 49AF, 49AG, 49AH, 49AI, 49AJ, 49AK, 49AL, 49AM, 49AN, 49AP, 49AQ, 49AR, 49AS, 49AT, 49AU4AA- 4AAA, 4AAB, 4AAC, 4AAD, 4AAE, 4AAF, 4AAG, 4AAH, 4AAI, 4AAJ, 4AAK, 4AAL, 4AAM4BA- 4BAA, 4BAB, 4BAC, 4BAD, 4BAE, 4BAF, 4BAG, 4BAH, 4BAI, 4BAJ, 4BAK, 4BAL, 4BAN4CA- 4CAA, 4CAB, 4CAC, 4CAD, 4CAE, 4CAF, 4CAH, 4CAI, 4CAJTo determine whether a battery pack is among those being recalled, first confirm that "EN-EL3" is written on the side of the battery, as shown on the following photo. Then compare the lot number that appears printed in black ink in the recessed area on the side of the battery pack, as shown below, with the list of recalled lot numbers printed above (tilt the battery pack so that light shines directly on the recessed area to see the lot number). If you have an EN-EL3 battery pack with one of the lot numbers listed above, you should immediately stop using it and remove the battery pack from the battery compartment.To receive instructions and materials for the return of your EN-EL3 battery pack, postage prepaid, and your free replacement, click here or call toll free 1-800-645-6678. In both cases, we will send you a prepaid shipping label, packing materials and instructions to safely return your affected EN-EL3 battery pack. Your EN-EL3 battery pack will be replaced free of charge within approximately 7-10 days of our receipt with a new EN-EL3a or EN-EL3e battery pack. The EN-EL3a and the EN-EL3e may be freely substituted for the EN-EL3 in all cases.If the lot number of your EN-EL3 battery pack is not listed above, or if your battery pack is an EN-EL3a or an EN-EL3e, your battery pack is not subject to this recall. No other Models of Nikon battery packs are involved in the recall. Nikon's digital SLR D100, D70 and D50 cameras are also not subject to the recall.Nikon is committed to safety and to providing to its customers only the highest quality products. We regret any inconvenience this matter may cause you and appreciate your continued support of Nikon.Bud Carruthers, IEC Coordinator x11573601 West Avenue Road, Box 1065Burlington, Ia 52601319-753-6561319-752-7525 Fax to my office

- Original Message - From: Bud Carruthers [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: AVCoop Customer list list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 12:01 PM Subject: [iec-coop] 3M Overhead Projector Problems I have been informed that 3M is having some quality control issues with their model 1830 units. The units have fresnel lenses that fall out before you even get them out of the box. It is an upgrade to the Larson Switch (That is inside humor) If your customers experience this problem please have them call 3M and give them the following information. 1. Call 3M 800-328-1371 and then select option #1 for servicing overhead projectors 2. Be prepared to give them the serial number for each unit with that problem. 3. Each overhead unit also has a Manufacturers Code that 3M will want to know. 4. There are two solutions to choose from: A. 3M will send the customer a new top for their overhead. (The customer will have to take the old one off and install the new part.) B. 3M will authorize the customer to return the unit/s and FedEx will pick them up. (Customers will need to return the overheads in the box that they originally came in.) C. If choosing to return the units, 3M will then ship you new units as replacements. (Hopefully without the the defects) Customers purchased these units from Brown Saenger. You do not need to contact them, just follow the instructions above. If you have questions please contact me. I am sending this message to my customer listserve, however, all customers who purchased the 3M 1830 unit may not be on this list. Please send this message to your customer lists so that we cover all who may have purchased this product. Thanks.

Links to our catalog http://av.co-op.k12.ia.us or www.iec-ia.orgThe Fall 2005 AV/Computer Co-op catalog is now on-line. We are now offering our catalog to IEC Customers in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. If you have friends or relatives working in education, public libraries, or local -city - or state government in those states please pass this on to them.We are working to get the pictures put into each item description and are also working to get the PDF version of the individual "Product Headings" created and listed. If you are using the PDF catalog be sure to check the "Catalog Updates" for any changes that may have been made to the catalog since you printed it out. The on-line catalog is kept up-to-date so that information is correct at the time you access it .FYI1. If you are ordering a Hewlett Packard product -- because we now offer our catalog to four states we may have listed the same HP item twice, once showing the pricing for all states and one showing the IEC/HP web site link which will usually be better pricing than that for "All States". If ordering an HP product priced for all customers, please send that PO to me. If you order off the IEC/HP web site we automatically get credit for that sale. If you are using the "State of Iowa" website to order please insert our Dealer ID #2406070001. If you are using a local HP dealer, they will get credit for the sale and will have their own dealer number that they will use. Just be sure to compare their pricing with our IEC/HP web site to insure that you are getting the best price. If you use the HP/IEC web site to order online, NO purchase order is sent to me ... the order goes directly to HP. If you are a first-time HP customer you will need to order on-line and also send them a PO. After that first order you will not need to send them a PO as they will have all of your school information. Call me if you have question2. Apple Computer has given us pricing for some products that are now listed in the AV/Computer Co-op catalog. If ordering an Apple product you will need to call to get an "Exception Number" from Apple to place on your purchase order. The order won't go through without this Exception Number and will delay the order. See the catalog description for details.3. The Deadline for ordering from the 2005 Fall catalog is December 14th. We will be seeking an extension of all pricing that would be valid from January 1 through February, but we can't guarantee what products or prices will be available then. Products and prices listed for the extension period may be different from the Fall catalog so please check the updated on-line and PDF catalog listings.4. With the exception of the HP on-line orders, ALL Purchase Orders are sent or faxed to me. We have a new fax number that sends everything to my office..319-752-7525.5. My secretary Mary and I have new phone extension numbers. Mine is 1157 and Mary's is 1287, or if you call in and don't remember our extension numbers just wait a few seconds and you will be sent to the receptionist.6. We prefer that you use the on-line ordering system. If you are not using the on-line system please indicate the catalog number, the make, model and price for each item you are ordering.7. Please make all PO's out to the vendor and then send or fax PO's to me. We forward orders on to vendors ASAP. Customers should call vendors for any questions about the status of these orders.8. We have kept the provision for free shipping for Fall. If your Vendor Purchase order is $25.00 or greater you will receive free shipping. If the PO is less than $25.00 the vendor may add an additional shipping and handling fee. Schools should expect additional shipping fees of at least $8.00 -$15.00 for the lightest shipments and more for heavier items. Customers may be able to add to their PO to get free shipping and get more for their money than if they order less and pay the shipping fee.9. As always, please call if you have a questions or need assistance.1o. Because of my busy summer schedule, I have not sent out the "AV/Computer Co-op Survey" like I said I was going to. I plan to send the survey to you as soon as we get all the information into this Fall AV/Computer Co-op catalog. Please take a few minutes to respond to this on-line survey. We will have a prize drawing from all who respond to the survey. Winners will be announced after the survey deadline.Thanks and keep up the great work that you all do!Bud Carruthers, IEC Coordinator x1157Mary Allaman, IEC Secretary x12873601 West Avenue Road, Box 1065Burlington, Ia 52601319-753-6561319-753-7525 Fax to my office =======Kathy Petersen - Media Secretary/ReceptionistPrairie Lakes Area Education Agency 8Iowa Central Community College330 Avenue MVoc-Tech Bldg - Lower LevelF

[info-tech] AV/Computer Co-op
2005 Spring AV/Computer Co-opThe Spring AV/Computer Co-op catalog has been updated and is now available through August 24, 2005.Vendors for the AV/Computer Co-op were offered the opportunity to extend the pricing for all items listed in the Spring Co-op Catalog. While vendors were able to extend pricing for most products, not all items have made it back into the catalog. Customers wanting a paper copy should reprint the catalog and check the "Updates" listed in the Pdf Catalog section before placing an order.One change that we have made is that we have been able to get better prices for Hewlett Packard products such as desktop, laptop, and tablet computers as well as printers and accessories. The customer also has more products to choose from because of a new statewide government and education contract called WISCAII.HP products will continue to be listed as an item in the AV/Computer Catalog, however, all HP products (with the exception of toner and paper) will be ordered on line at the new and improved IEC/HP website www.hp.com/buy/ieck12If you are a new or an existing customer and have ordered directly from HP just go to the above site and choose what you want to order and then go to check out. At that time you will need to log in a "New" or "Existing" customer. Fill in the required information and Existing customers are finished, no PO is necessary. New, first time customers will need to check but will also need to create and send a Purchase Order for the items ordered directly to HP. *** No Purchase Orders should be sent to the AV/Computer Co-op for items ordered from this site.All items will be shipped and invoiced by HP. You can order ink, toner, and printing papers from HP but you should check the AV/Computer Co-op catalog for their low prices on these items.As always, Please contact us if you have questions, comments, or are looking to purchase a large quantity of one item.Bud Carruthers, IEC Coordinator x157Mary Allaman, IEC Co-op Secretary x287319-753-6561 =======Kathy Petersen - Media Secretary/ReceptionistPrairie Lakes Area Education Agency 8Iowa Central Community College330 Avenue MVoc-Tech Bldg - Lower LevelFort Dodge, IA 50501515-574-5548 800-669-2325 Ext 5548[EMAIL PROTECTED] Life is a journey, not a destination!!!

- Original Message - From: Bud Carruthers To: AVCoop Customer list Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 3:47 PM Subject: [iec-coop] AV/Computer Co-op "Pending" Glitch We had a couple of problems today with the IEC AV/Co-op online order system. We think that we have everything fixed now. You should probably log out of the order system and log back in to reset your system.1. The problem resulted when you tried to "Confirm" your order. The next screen that showed up told you that there was an error and the next page could not be found. We think that we have that fixed now.2. We found that the flag screen alerting you that your PO is less than $25.00 was corrupt so we deleted this function. You will not see this reminder for now. We are evaluating whether it is needed or not.3.Get those order in! Just because you used the online system does not mean anything has been ordered.

Also attached is the NCREL original document in a different layout.
