List of Materials for the Academic year
2008-2009:
1 Lap Top PC. (Portable
Computer).
We recommend you to buy a Lap
Top –Core Duo 2 – 1GB memory (we have
had students with crashed machines
because the memory was insufficient for
the installed programs we use at the
Academy). We recommend as well a 17”
screen. It is so much easier for you to
see your design on a big screen. The
Graphic card is very important, we
recommend 512md ram.
When you have purchased your computer
then please practice how to operate it
prior to school start.
