MCTExpert is now on the Android Market!

Today MCTExpert is proud to announce our first step in the exciting world of mobile apps. After a month of research and development, our first demo app is on the Android Marketplace. “American Road Trip” was inspired by a game played with 12x12 inch cards on family road trips a long time ago with my brothers in the back seat of the car. This version is more dynamic.

This demo app served as our test bed for developing our first code library for the Android platform. It also allowed us to work on the procedures that are needed to get an application fro the design board to the Android Marketplace. I invite you to download this app and give your kids a video game that will keep their eyes more on the world around them.

Plans are on the table to take on more challenging projects as we continue to build our code library and bring some great ideas to the Android Market.

Error icon when creating a GPO Preference drive map

You may not have an error at all. Take a look at the drive mapping below. The red triangle is what threw us off. It is not an error. It is simply a color representation of the Replace option of the Action field in the properties of the drive mappings. Create action This give you a green triangle. The Create action creates a new mapped drive for users. Replace Action The Replace action gives you a red triangle. This action will delete and recreate mapped drives for users. The net result of the Replace action is to overwrite all existing settings associated with the mapped drive. If the drive mapping does not exist, then the Replace action creates a new drive mapping. Update Action The Update action will have a yellow triangle. Update will modify settings of an existing mapped drive for users. This action differs from Replace in that it only updates settings defined within the preference item. All other settings remain as configured on the ma...
