        As you can see, this one Web page can be a great "jumping off place" for accessing computing information all over campus.

        If you know of something that you think should be added to this page, please E-mail Chris Strauss (strauss@unt.edu) and let him know. If you don't have WWW access, you can still benefit from the accumulated wisdom of the Support Services staff. They will be glad to consult with you over the phone (817-565-2324) and/or in person (ISB 119). Still, it is really worth your while to add a web-browser like Netscape to your computer if it all possible. You'll be amazed at what a great asset it is.
