Student Recruitment

Picture this scene. It's a warm spring afternoon on the campus
of an urban, Northeastern university. Frisbees are soaring
through the cloudless sky.

Music fills the air while dozens of students enjoy the day; some
sunning, some playing, some standing around talking. As you look
closer, you realize that the music is coming from speakers
attached to one of the students' laptop computer. The computer
is not playing a CD, but rather it is streaming music from an
online radio station.

The laptop owner rolls over, flips up his sunglasses, and pulls
the computer to him. He spends the next 30 minutes reading
e-mail, checking his schedule, IMing with some friends and
finishing the application to a grad school, which he started the
night before.

This scene could be taking place on the campus of Drexel
University in Philadelphia because the entire campus is set up
for WiFi, both indoors and out. Any member of the campus
community with a laptop has access to the Internet with a
wireless, broadband connection from anywhere on campus.

More surprising is that Drexel's ambitious WiFi network might
soon seem rather insignificant if the City of Philadelphia
proceeds with plans to make the entire city a wireless hotspot.

Today it is not too difficult to find a wireless Internet node
with a little bit of hunting. Many airports, hotels, offices,
coffee shops and campus buildings offer WiFi access with more
and more coming online all the time.

Less desirable (because of slower connection speeds), but more
accessible, is the ability to check e-mail and access the web
through a Blackberry, Cell Phone, or Cellular adaptor for a
laptop.

What does this all mean to you? Very simply, it means that
online recruiting continues to become more vital every day. The
computer with a wireless hookup to the Internet is becoming
ubiquitous. The students (think early adopters) that you are
looking to recruit are ahead of the curve. Postal mail, paper
view books and other "old-world" media are becoming more and
more insignificant to them. The student on the blanket is
filling out a school's application. Is it yours

What are the specifications necessary to buy the correct AC power adaptor for a laptop?

Do I just need the correct amps and volts? Are the sizes plugs to the computer universal on laptops?

Thre are four factors ... you named three..

1 and 2) Power an size (amperage and voltage should match. Your computer will have these numbers on the case somewhere (usually near the plug) if not check the manual. Transformers will almost always have it printed or embossed on the housing somewhere. Most computers can tolerate a small variation in voltage but you should get the two to match

3) Size: Not all plugs are the same size or shape. Round plugs may be the same on the outside but the innner shaft may be smaller or larger. Try them out with the computer off and the transformer unplugged.

4) After you find a plug that fits with a transformer the right size, check the polarity. Pay special attention to the round plugs. The outside of the plug and the inner shaft are + and - in some way. You will need to match that of the computer. Here you have an option. If you have matched 1 to 3, and the polarity is reversed, you simply cut the cord and reverse the wires (reinsuating them of course) and it will work. Some computers are protected aganst reversed polarity some aren't. It would be an expensive lesson to learn.

thats it... good luck
