• Read Comer chapters 1-7 and 23.

• Get a Carleton Netware account if you don't already have one. You can do so by visiting the Student Computing Information Center ( SCIC).
• Get hooked up to Caucus, subscribe to the "CS107 Fall 2002" conference, and introduce yourself in the Introductions topic. I want you all to participate at least occasionally in discussions in our Caucus conference, so I will make Caucus participation equivalent to one homework assignment. You'll get full credit for this assignment if you post at least ten messages to the conference.
