There are computer rental firms in the Cincinnati, Dayton, Hamilton, and Middletown areas. Telephone books are available in the University Libraries. If you save files on the hard drive, you probably want to do so into a folder or directory named for you. The Miami University Bookstore offers educational pricing on computer hardware and software. These prices are at substantial discounts over regular retail prices.
Loans are available for computer purchases.
New products are always being added to the Bookstore's selection. We are working toward a group discount rate to allow students to purchase installation services at a lower rate than a student could obtain as an individual. Since details were not complete by the time this guide went to press, please contact the MCIS Help Desk at 529-7900 for current information. We also intend to have this information available in the 16 residence halls networked for the 1996-97 academic year. Please see the section entitled Questions for Students to Ask Ethernet Adapter Service Providers for suggested questions to ask a vendor if you are considering the purchase of an Ethernet adapter or installation services.
