FINALLY! GIS found on computer in Library!

Hey for those of you that didn't know:

"I actually located at least one of the computers in the library with
ArcGIS on it. It is PC#5 (which is in front of the color printing
desk). The trick is that there is no icon for it. You have to do a
search for it. I'm sure thats why no one could ever find it before. I
actually stumbled upon it by happenstance.

just figured you could post it on the blog or something,

thanks,

Dave
