In which Weston helps three people at once

It's been a busy past few days. The Writing Center desk got a "newer computer" (they used to have a Dell GX260, now they have a Dell Optiplex GX520), but with the upgrade to Window 7, the worker reported that it was slower than the old one, though it is quieter. I looked into it and recommended a graphics card and more RAM, as it has around the same speed processor and the same RAM as the old machine. I also disabled visual styles to try and speed things up.
While that was going on, I was helping two or three other people. One of the "make a personal web page with your picture, 10 relevant class links and your resumé" assignment folks came in to get a trial of the software installed on her Mac. I suggested iWeb might be easier, so I guided her through getting that set up and her first personalized page published. At the same time, I helped a guy scan a couple duplex documents into Adobe Acrobat so we could send the OCR'ed files off in an application.
Oh, of course there was the student who wanted to print a poster-sized image of a famous old rock singer, but could only find small images online. She couldn't find any posters of the person in three or four poster shops in the first place! We searched Google Images (and a couple other sources) and used several of the features:

• Find simliar
• More sizes
• Find a specific size
• Find black and white

Finally, she just made a collage of several images of this rock singer and put them on one large document to print.
