Notes
Headsets
Bought 2 headsets for Jan 2015:
- One is with Dan Loring
- One is with Cynthia Kinsland (used to be with Pat Hines).
iMac setups
Spare iMac with latest OS installed, and also with:
- Skype
- Call Recorder
- http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/
- Call Recorder has a 7 day trial, which is has been sufficient if final set-up done at the last minute. Else, pay $29.95 (Free Lifetime Updates and Fast & Friendly Support). Or find an alternative:
- Configure with auto-login of a dedicated User account, with or without a password.
Hardware to use for set-ups:
- 2-button mouse (ensure OS configured to use both buttons)
- Ethernet (turn off wireless)
- Switch w/ power supply, and 2 ethernet cables:
- Wall to switch. Switch to iMac. And person's main computer ethernet cable (which was to the wall) now goes to the switch.
