COMPUTER USAGE Each student is expected to get their own username on some computer. Listed below are the some open VAX's and the system managers that you can see to get a username. If a student has a username from work or another course it can be used. ( You will want to create a sub directory for this course. ) Being in this course entitles you to use an overhead account for EVENING SCHOOL ONLY. The preferred account name is ADA*CLASS which is equivalent to AB3485. Please fill out attached VAX USER AUTHORIZATION REQUEST and security form if you do not have an account ( or want an account on an additional VAX ).
