Please contact the Riverdance Office at 747-8702 for password information. The range of the wireless is probably about 100-200 feet, so it is best used in of near the Computer Room.
Desktop with Printer is available for resident use on a first-come/first-served basis. A high-speed internet connection is hard-wired to the desktop. The default home page for the desktop browser is the River Dance Home Page at http://www.colket.org/RiverDance. A convenient way to print out a document on your home computer is to transfer your document to a memory stick and insert the memory stick into the USB Port of the printer. After the document is printed, please safetly remove the memory stick by using the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the lower right tray on the desktop. Memory Sticks can be purchased at computer stores for less than $10.

Please reconnect the printer to the desktop when you are done. It should be noted that the printer should NOT be used for printing big files. The printer is designed for small files; an attempt to print out large files will result in a printer freeze, requiring maintenance to restart the printer.
