I was helping a student at work today with a project. We needed to gain access to some equipment that I did not have available in my office, so we proceeded to find a mac in order to print a report that the student had worked on. Mind you I work for the department of education in NYC and the funding is not the greatest, so we continued our search...After several attempts we were able to find a functioning mac/printer combo but yet again we were stopped by an unseen force. The monitor at the door of the lab proceeded to question us about what we needed and for what was the purpose? Once inside she did not let us sit at a station but took the flash drive and tried to open the program herself, she said that she could not open the information on the flash drive because she did not have that program. We could have printed the report ourselves, we only needed access to a MacIntosh not a PC, why the run around?
