    15. Welcome home!

    16. Welcome home! A list of computer labs for your convenience! Van Leer C257 – computers’ login is really slow 4th floor writing lab – nice but few computers 3042 lab – supposed to be for 3042 but… Klaus 1440 – Perfect lab to get quick print outs and do homework. 1446 – new computers! Some ancient computers (but still usable) 1448 – Unix and Solaris machines 2440 – Just like 1440 but used for DSP labs. Is open whenever labs are not in progress You can print in all of these labs. Klaus 1446 and 1448 have color printers (accessible only if you are taking certain classes). Hint: To get into the Klaus labs after hours, swipe your buzz card, and push in THEN pull. To save paper you can print front and back by choosing ‘duplex’! Also print more than one slide or page per sheet if your printing class notes.
