The public computers in HU1009 are being upgraded (two were available as of yesterday). One computer has a faster CPU and graphics processor; it is the one that has a red dot on its label and the new (larger) monitor. It is not clear that the speed difference will be noticeable.
New machines are also being installed in the graduate office on the 9th floor. Currently one machine is set up and three more will be configured. This room will also have one faster computer as described above.
We are planning to move the current lw2 printer into the 9th floor graduate office, after we test, for a few weeks, a replacement (which is supposed to arrive next week) for lw2 in the mailroom.
