\More than 250 employees already have ordered computers through the Employee Computer Purchase Program (ECPP), which continues through Nov. 17. Here, three first-time computer owners (from left), Beverly Cotton, Mary Osborne and Karen Guzman, all employees in Building Services, Facilities Management, pick up their new Gateway computers.

Osborne said she might use the computer to help run a home business. Guzman said she took advantage of the ECPP so she could begin learning about computers. Cotton said that she bought a computer to help her college-bound daughter and because the program has let her family "move with the age. It was time for us to look ahead and move to the future."
