years. Thanks for all that you have given me.

Rip Heminway will be the interim Manager of Scientific Computing at The

Dear All --

I have worked with Dragon System Naturally Speaking and Voice Express --
both applications were used by disabled students on our Law and Main
campuses.  I have experienced better success with Voice Express, which is
easily installed and configures well with Word 97 in a wintel environment.
Their URL's follow:

I do not have pricing info as students had already purchased the software.

Hey Folks--

Does anyone have a formal policy (either "for" or "against") regarding
whether you allow commercial advertising on any of your campus web
pages?

My Issue:
  The Student Newspaper sells advertising as part of it's printed
version. The advertisements are mostly from local commercial businesses
that want to cater to our student population. They want to run "Banner
Ads" with the Online/Web Version of the newspaper and actually charge a
separate rate for that type of advertising.

Any insights/experiences out there?

We have a policy against any type of commerical activity on our computers.
This is primary because of software licensing issues. 
We have several software licenses on campus that prohibit commerical
activities..

Out policies are listed at
http://web.reed.edu/resources/cis/Policies/policies.html

The user agreement and web policy are particular relevent to your

Hey Folks--

Does anyone have a formal policy (either "for" or "against") regarding
whether you allow commercial advertising on any of your campus web
pages?

My Issue:
  The Student Newspaper sells advertising as part of it's printed
version. The advertisements are mostly from local commercial businesses
that want to cater to our student population. They want to run "Banner
Ads" with the Online/Web Version of the newspaper and actually charge a
separate rate for that type of advertising.

Any insights/experiences out there?

--Dave

We have a policy against any type of commerical activity on our computers.
This is primary because of software licensing issues. 
We have several software licenses on campus that prohibit commerical
activities..

Out policies are listed at
http://web.reed.edu/resources/cis/Policies/policies.html

The user agreement and web policy are particular relevent to your
queestion.
