Double-click

A '''Double-click''' is the act of pressing a computer button twice quickly without moving the mouse. Double-clicking can be found on all computers on campus. Double-clicking allows two different actions to be associated with the same mouse button. Often, single-clicking selects (or highlights) an object, while a double-click executes that object, but this is not universal.

==How to Double-click==

To double-click, press the computer mouse button twice in quick succession.

If you are having problems double-clicking, it is possible to adjust the speed. Adjusting double-click settings can be done by:

[[Windows XP]] - Start > Control Panel > Mouse > Buttons (Start > Control Panel > Printers & Other Hardware > Mouse > Buttons if Control Panel is in Category view)
[[Mac OS X]] - Applications > System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse

Playstation 2

2006-12-05T20:59:45Z

Eanders3:

The '''Playstation 2''' is a [[video game console]] developed and sold by [[Sony]].

==Connecting to the network==
Please call the [[Technology Helpline]] to help you register this device as well as any other type of video game console on the �鶹��Ƶ network. You will need to provide the [[MAC address]] of your Playstation 2 when calling.

===Finding your MAC address===
#Make sure that the networking cable (or Ethernet cable) is not connected to the back of your PS2 game console.
#Load the Network Adapter Start-up Disk. This is provided with the PS2 Ethernet adapter. Select ISP Setup from the screen. Press the X button on your controller to continue.
#Make sure that the network adapter is found. If an error message appears, the network adapter is either installed incorrectly, or there is a technical problem with your PS2.
#A screen will appear notifying you that SCEA (a Sony company) is not affiliated with your Internet service provider (ISP). To continue, press the controller's X button.
#The next two screens you see will allow you to create, edit, and delete an ISP name. Choose NEW, and then type in any name (e.g., Rogers or Insightbb ). Choose ENTER.
#Double-check to make sure that the Ethernet cable is not connected to your PS2 console. When asked if you currently subscribe to an ISP service, select YES.
#When asked for your connection type, select the appropriate option. Next, choose Automatic Settings.
#When asked if your ISP requires a user ID and password, check with your ISP to determine what you should select. You will also need to contact your ISP to determine whether or not you must input a DHCP host name.
#Your PS2 will now display a screen reading (in part) "Testing network connection. Please wait." You should do nothing and allow the search to fail. Once you see a screen beginning with the phrase "Connection test failed", you must press the Select key on your controller to bring up the HELP screen.
#Your PS2 console's MAC address will be displayed on the screen, under "Hardware MAC Address".

== What is IMAP? ==
(definition from [http://www.imap.org/about/whatisIMAP.html IMAP.org])

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is a method of accessing electronic mail or bulletin board messages that are kept on a (possibly shared) mail server. In other words, it permits a "client" email program to access remote message stores as if they were local. For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.

A '''Virus''' is an unwanted and often malicious and destructive program.

==What is a Virus?==
(definition from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_virus Wikipedia.org])

A computer virus is a self-replicating computer program written to alter the way a computer operates, without the permission or knowledge of the user. Though the term is commonly used to refer to a range of malware, a true virus must replicate itself, and must execute itself. The later criteria is often met by a virus which replaces existing executable files with a virus-infected copy. While viruses can be intentionally destructive—destroying data, for example—some viruses are benign or merely annoying.
