But for her, easy access this year has beenhard to come by. We should be able to walk in and not worry about getting on a computer. The access that the school provides is terrible. Dave Ruby, manager of instructional computing sites, said that sites are busier at the beginning of the semester, especially during the first week of classes. Students use University computers to adjust class schedules, change passwords, check e-mail and update local addresses, not to mention writing papers and checking notes on class Web sites.
Students know what they want to do with the computer.
There are nine CCSO sites on campus with a total of 500 computers accessible to students. Classes, however, use computers for instruction in seven of those nine sites, and sites are not functioning at 100 percent because of broken machines. Wednesday afternoon in the English Building site, a repair person worked on formatting hard drives on a number of PCs. Also, because servers have been too busy, some computers in the Lincoln Hall site are without Netscape access. We're working with scheduling, fixing broken computers and dealing with the rush.
