Some computers on campus don't have hard drives. Instructors can save files they wish to share with students on this drive, in their departmental subdirectory. Students have READ access only. If you have a need for executing a program from a floppy disk on a local drive you will need to make a request to have it installed and added to the menu. Due to virus problems and space limitations there is no longer a generic computer login.
Students are responsible for their own backups.
