The Evergreen State College presents:

1. Copy your project folder including the Media folder (from the Macintosh HD > Documents Folder) to Scratch on Calawah. Once there, copy it to your PC formatted Zip disk.
2. Buy a Macintosh formatted Zip disk and copy your project (from the Macintosh HD > Documents Folder) to your Zip disk.
3. Check out the Firewire Harddrive from the Consultant's Desk in the Computer Center.    Plug the AC adapter into the harddrive and then into a power source.   Plug the firewire cable into the firewire port on the back of the Macintosh G4.  Copy your project folder (from the Macintosh HD > Documents Folder) onto the Firewire Harddrive.   We will assist you next week with copying your project to a Zip disk for you.  When you are done using the Firewire Harddrive, use the File > Put Away command to 'disconnect' the drive.  Then unhook the firewire and power cables and return all three items to the Consultant's desk.
