Confocal and Zeiss -- Local Accounts deleted

I went in today and deleted all local accounts on the Zeiss computer and the Confocal computer. Thus, to access either of these computers, a Waisman logon is required. Please talk to me if you have any concerns or questions about this. All data from the Documents and Settings user folders was burned onto DVDs then deleted, but files that were elsewhere were left alone. If you need any of the data from the Documents and Settings folder (which would include anything on your desktop or in your My Documents folder), the dvds are in the small filing cabinet next to the confocal scope.

Since we are doing fine at the moment on disk space, I'll wait to clear off any other images or data from these computers until there is concern about this. The confocal computer currently has 75 GB free out of 250GB, and the Zeiss computer currently has 200 GB free out of 250GB, so I would say that the confocal computer will need clearing off in the next few months, but not the Zeiss for the forseeable future. An email will go out before I do this, and if possible, removed data will be compressed and burned to DVD, just in case.

Please make an effort to keep your hard disk usage to a minimum on these computers. Thanks.
