Hi Nancy,
Thanks for your question. Yes, the first webinar is up on the MLTI website already at http://www.mlti.org/deployment. The second webinar recording should be posted soon.
Are either of these webinars available anywhere so people who weren’t able to participate at the time can view them?
Patrick, thanks for your comment. Windows 7 is now the software included in the HP PC package.
Running Windows 7 software? On a previous page it said it was running Windows 8. Which one is it?
