ratbastid, that's what I thought. Serves me right for trusting in Word.

Worried about a viruses and worms? Do they have a LAN that is locked down, on my campus we have several VLAN's one for staff, one for student, and then several extra quarantine LANs. Is it the faculty that is concerned or the IT staff, I bet you the professors are overacting.
Bottom line, if you are doing anything computer related on campus, you need to talk with the IT department. I hate finding rouge wireless networks that have access to our main servers from some professor that thinks they know about networking. This one time, one of our 'brilliant' professors set up a DHCP server on our network, hosed the network in his building for a few hours before we tracked it down.

Mac or PC, it makes no difference to an experience IT staff, Mac can handle almost anything, excluding DFS, but DFS sucks anyways.
