ESRI is readying the release of ArcGIS 9.2 and there will undoubtedly be changes that affect how you work and / or how your GIS exercises hold up to the rigors of student use.
I’ll organize a 9.2 “debriefing” mid to late August when I return from the ESRI User Conference. In the meantime, take a look at a few of the forthcoming enhancements from ESRI.
We’ll likely role out 9.2 during the spring semester since our fall 2006 image is burned and ready to go.
