New improved Intranet

Se changes have been introduced
to the College Intranet system since
the last issue of the Informer. It is now
much easier to use and access, plus it
will contain all the information, and
more, previously found on Delphi.
Simply go to the College’s home page
in Netscape and replace www in the
URL with capweb and hit enter. Or,
you can go to the College home page
and enter through “For Cap Internal
Use Only.” Both these locations will
open the College’s new Intranet. If you
want to have your own directory on the
Intranet, please contact Katrina Watts
in Computer Support Services at local
2199.

bright idea?
