Did I Miss Anything?[Question frequently asked by students after missing a class

by Tom Wayman]

Nothing:– When we realized you weren't here we sat

with our hands folded on our desks in silence, for the full two hours

Everything:– I gave an exam worth 40 per cent of the grade

for this term and assigned some reading due today on which I'm about to hand out a quiz worth 50 per cent.


Nothing:– None of the content of this course has value or

meaning. Take as many days off as you like: any activities we undertake as a class I assure you will not matter either to you or me and are without purpose.

Everything:– A few minutes after we began last time, a shaft of

light descended and an angel or other heavenly being appeared and revealed to us what each woman or man must do to attain divine wisdom in this life and the hereafter. This is the last time the class will meet before we disperse to bring this good news to all people on earth.


Nothing:– When you are not present how could

something significant occur? Everything:

– Contained in this classroom is a microcosm of human existence assembled for you to query and examine and ponder. This is not the only place such an opportunity has been gathered, but it was one place - And you weren't here !


QuestionsStop instructor to ask questions

when in doubt or unsureEmail questions to instructorWhat’s the only stupid question ?


Homework All homework is normally due by start of

the next week (unless instructor indicates otherwise)– date on your e-mail is used as timestamp

identical” work, both students will get a zero on that assignment

Microsoft Office

The first version of “Office” was programmed for the Apple Mac OS and was released on June 19,

1989.

This version included the Microsoft Word, Excel,

and PowerPoint applications.

Microsoft Office

It was not until January of 1990 that Microsoft released a version of Office for PCs (which were running Windows 2.0 at the time!)

From 1990-1995 Microsoft released new versions of its Office products separately.

It was not until Office 95 that the applications were updated together.

Microsoft Office

The release of Office 95 marked a new strategy from Microsoft.

Instead of sporadically releasing new versions of the Office products separately, they decided to update all the products at once and bracket them under a new name.

This update strategy is still in-use by Microsoft today.

Microsoft Office 95 To the right, is the product

packaging for Office 95. This version contained

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Scheduler+, and Access.

The original release was intended for Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.51

Surprisingly, Office 95 can still be run on Windows XP systems.

Microsoft Office 97

To the right is the product packaging for Office 97.

This version (Professional) included PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, Excel, & Access.

This was the first version of the Office suite to include Outlook.

Microsoft Office 2000


This version (Professional) included Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Access, & Publisher.

This release had 4 versions (Premium, Professional, Small Business, and Standard.)

Microsoft Office XP

To the right is the product packaging for Office XP.

This version (Professional) included Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, & Access.

This release had 4 versions (Professional, Standard, Small Business, and Student/Teacher.)

Office XP was the first version of Office to include Product Activation to cut down on software piracy.
