alice-teacher Alice 3.2 on a PC

[Pappafotopoulos, Dianne]

HI Don,
Here are the specs for our lab computers. The lab has MAC machines with the
ability to switch to a PC platform. Students are having issues on both the
PC and MAC side randomly.

Device: iMac (21.5-inch, Mid2011)
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Memory: 8GB
Graphic Card: AMD Radeon HD 6750M
Java: 8.51

Thanks, Dianne
