Review successful lab achievements. Hardware Issues Adequacy - Richard distributed the brochures of the lab and asked for comments about hardware and labs. Mary noted that computers are really slow using Daedalus. Richard responded that the writing center and dorms have the minimal configuration on campus. He also expressed hopes of upgrading the computers in these areas.
Dorms are excited about the recent installation of computers.
Dorm directors noted that current computers are adequate for current use. The question of printers for the remaining dorms arose and Richard mentioned that printers are ready to be installed as soon as estimates for printer housing from the Physical Plant are finished and any construction is completed. Diversity - Richard explained the variety of configurations now necessary in campus labs. He explained that for this reason, certain services are available only from select machines, etc. They suggested it would be better to increase the number of units instead of upgrading a select few.
