All LRAT lectern PCs feature the same software applications. These are standard applications such as the Microsoft Office - 2007 , selected specialist applications including SPSS , open-source tools like jEdit and viewers and media players. The standard setup was last updated in August 2011. All of our PCs feature the Windows 7 operating system. We welcome suggestions for additions (preferably free software or that covered by a University site licence).. Please contact us through the TAMU Helpline x43322 or to us by email at lrathire@bham.ac.uk with your suggestions.
