**Computer in workroom off LMC:**
 * Needs to be unfiltered - The issue was having a phone in the work room. With the copier now hooked up to one port there was only one other port in the room. It was decided the phone was never really used because of the proximity to the LMC and therefore could move forward with changing the port over. This was taken care of by Steve and he will soon update the machine with more RAM and to Windows 7.
