revchrisOne of the TAs just told me that one of the microscope compouters is down. It's been down for at least a month, but he just realized he should tell me.
The CPU fan is dead, so I'm pitching the computer and replacing it.
The old computer is a ~8-year-old pIII 800MHz machine with 512MB ram. The replacement will be a 4-year-old p4 3.0GHz machine with 2GB of ram and a video card that actually works (the old computer also has video problems).
It will, however, take a day or two to get the new computer set up. But, they don't ahve class until Wednesday, so that shouldn't be a problem.
