School computer labs

Last revision March 20, 2009

Priority for class use or homework assignments; otherwise drop-in 24 hours/day. These are not your personal computers. Don't modify system settings or try to install software. Pirated software will not be tolerated. Files that you save on local disk will be erased periodically, possibly without warning. Any files that you need to save beyond your current session should be saved on removable media (USB "memory sticks" are inexpensive) or moved over the network to the School's file server or another computer.
