Computer Needs

Concerning computers needed to run the thread-counting software

Software will be distributed from a USB thumb drive or a CD that will run on computers using Windows XP as the operating system. (The software is not available at this time for any other operating system.) The software will be loaded onto participants computers prior to the training session of the workshop. Each pair of participants is expected to have access to a computer, thereby assuring that each person has sufficient keyboard time to learn how to operate the thread-counting program. Participants are encouraged to bring their own computers, as only a limited number will be available on site.
