Welcome to the new academic year

Welcome new students and staff and welcome back old users. We've gotten a lot of interest in participating in our system in the last couple of days with all the new students seeing our system. Our new software and electronics is still coming. We're going through some lab testing now to get it in good shape for public consumption. Unfortunately our big-time friends who are currently premier bikeshare company are having new software rollout delays too so we're not alone (http://bit.ly/NsMQUN). In the meantime, we'll get more aggressive about adding users into our system, though there will be a little bit of learning and relearning once we get our new software out. Also, since we're starting with a bunch of new users with our old software, everyone please pay careful attention to instructions. Our old (current) software can't handle user error. Our new (future) software will be a little more robust. Also make sure you watch the quick how-to video before you get to the station.
