Justification
40 computers in the Photography lab are in need of replacement. Apple’s Mac OS X and Photoshop 7.0
have been available for some time, but our lab is not capable of running this industry standard software
effectively. 0S X requires 128MB of RAM for the system alone. Photoshop 7.0, Final Cut Pro and the other
software packages we use require very large hard drives and very fast computers.
Hard drives of 100 to 200GB’s, 1.5 GB’s of RAM and processors speeds of dual 1Ghz or faster, and
computers with DVD and CD authoring capabilities are necessary to meet industry standards as well as
student needs.
Large transfers of student files require faster networking hardware between computers. Transfer rates with
the newer computers start at 100 base T. This allows faster printing from unusually large files. Our existing
computers do not meet these needs.
Our department has expanded into teaching video classes. The current digital photo lab lacks the hardware
and software support to run these software packages and does not meet industry standards.
Student demand for classes in digital photography, and digital video has increased dramatically since the
new lab was installed in 1998. NO additional building modification is needed. This Price shown includes all
peripherals that meet industry standards.
The Photography department has not had any camera purchase since 1976. all of our equipment is beyond
repair as parts are no longer available.

Our department has been operating on a $8,500 budget since 1969. This amount shows the
increase needed to remain up to date with rising costs of materials. Costs of materials has risen as much as
400%.
