11/19/04 (Fri) 
 CDH Home Computer Support Clinic
 8:00AM until 4:00PM 
 In: 1020 Public Policy Building

Dear Humanities Faculty, Staff and Graduate Students: 

  We will be conducting our next monthly Home Computer 
  Support Clinic on Friday, November 19, 2004 from 8:00am to 
  4:00pm in 1020 PPB. If you are a graduate student, staff 
  or faculty member of any of the Humanities departments and 
  would like to bring your misbehaving computer to CDH for 
  diagnosis and/or repair, please sign up for an appointment 
  by filling out the online form at 
  . We will 
  contact you to set an appointment time. All appointments 
  will last for 2 hours maximum and will be conducted on 
  scheduled time. 

  Please note that you only need to bring in your computer 
  (the main box with the hard drive) - we'll supply the 
  monitor, keyboard and mouse. If it's a laptop please bring 
  your own power supply. At the clinic we will evaluate your 
  computer, describe what needs to be done to fix the 
  problem, and/or provide an estimate of how long it will 
  take to fix. If we are unable to fix the problem, we will 
  make an appropriate recommendation based on our diagnosis. 
  If your computer needs extensive work in order to be 
  fixed, you may be asked to leave it with CDH until a 
  technician has adequate time to repair it.

  Also, note that under our new hardware support policy, we 
  will no longer service computers that are older than 5 
  years and can only provide "limited" support for computers 
  not on our supported hardware list. It is important that 
  you understand the difference between "full" support 
  and "limited" support, so please visit 
  for a detailed 
  description.

  To further support the UCLA community with home and/or 
  personal systems, UCLA has negotiated a deal with KST Data 
  that allows individual faculty, staff, and students at 
  UCLA to purchase personal PCs at greatly discounted 
  prices. Please see the Icompass website 
  (http://www.icompass.ucla.edu/news/pc_purchasing_personal.h
  tm) for details.
