This is why I hate OIT so much. They don't think things through. Ever. On a normal class day, I have to authenticate my laptop on average FOUR %&[EMAIL PROTECTED] TIMES!!!! This is even worse than the already irritating daily authentication that they say they'll make us do. I have to authenticate two or three times in the TMCB, once in the classroom side of the HBLL, and once in the HRCB. If I go anywhere else, I have to authenticate again. Since web access is one of the last things I do when I start up my laptop, it's really annoying to have to remember to go to their stupid web page every time I log in. > I have been in the hot seat when trying to track down these worms and > miscellaneous spyware.

Registering once a semester makes sense, but more frequent than that doesn't. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
