I've spent the last couple of hours frustrated at trying to log in and use notebooks at sagenb.org. I was attempting to do this while teaching a class, and had little to no success between 10:30 and 12:20 EST (U.S.). I had this same experience about a month ago when teaching a different class---probably can write off 75 students or thereabouts as having seen enough frustration in an hour to never want to use Sage again.
Nevertheless, I've found remarkably few (given my 2-for-2 batting average) messages like this in the list archives over the last year. Is this not a problem for others, just me doing something wrong? If so, can someone help me diagnose the problem? If it's a consistent problem that everyone else has become so accustomed to that we just don't speak of it anymore, then how can it be addressed? I'd suggest to my students that they should all download a copy if it weren't that so many of them are Windows users, and that looks to be oppressively hard. If I could convince the IT people at my institution to run a notebook server, what could I tell them about numbers and power? Just what are the specs on existing sagenb servers, and how many users before you notice poor performance? Thomas L.
