Read this important note about the CMOS date and the NT command prompt DATE command and why the problem might occur and what the solution would be. Send me or the manager@cns.uni.edu email about the specific computer with the incorrect DATE, if you have time.
Spring 1999 web page is useful to see what kinds of topics are covered in this class. Keep in mind, the rate of change for networks, PCs and operating systems means the class will change quite a bit in response.
The prerequisites for this class are too limited and stated wrong in the schedule book. Any previous programming class is sufficient background, not just C or BASIC (Visual Basic). The 810:022 class is also sufficient prerequisite.
