There. s approximately 400 - 600 residents that get direct connections per semester and only a few R.I.N.G. team members which means they are limited. Unfortunately computers are like individual people. Very, very different. Some computers are cooperative and others are not. Some computers are older and some are newer.
Some computers are big and powerful and some are tiny and struggling.
Well, you get the picture. Because if this, there are a few minimum standards to supporting computers on the network. A PC computer to be worked on must have at least a 486 MHz processor and 16 megs of RAM memory with Win 95. A Macintosh must have a 68020 processor with 16 megs of RAM and system 7.5 or better. With these minimum standard the RING team is able to get computers back to the residents in a timely fashion.
