Disks
You will need a few 3.5" floppy disks for your assignments.
Why?
No personal files may be left on CIT's public machines.
CIT frequently cleans out files on the public machines.
So, you must store your files on your own disks. Other things
to note:
-
Back up your programs to protect yourself in case
something is lost, e.g., the night before the due date.
-
Note that most labs have Zip drives, but the instructors'
machines don't.
