The ITDE team and the Communications and Technology Committee have recommended upgrading several of the software packages used throughout Extension. Over the next several months the ITDE team will be installing these upgrades on Extension computers. Upgrades to Microsoft Office and Corel WordPerfect suite are being funded centrally by Extension administration. Information on the upgrade decisions is at http://www.ceinfo.unh.edu/cragin/Admin/nonsecure/upgrdpln.PDF .

The following software will be installed:
Microsoft Office XP - Professional Edition
Corel WordPerfect Suite 2002
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0
Netscape 7.0
Eudora 4.22
WS_FTP LE

The ITDE team is also currently evaluating which computers may need to be replaced in order to satisfactorily run the new applications. We are tentatively recommending a minimum hardware standard of a 300 MHz CPU with 128 megabytes of RAM.
