Four public email stations have been installed in the OWHI room in the SUB with the help of John Drinkwater. There are now five stations available across campus. If you know of other places where a station would be useful please contact CTS at 2333. We have several computers available to meet these requests.

There is a “Code Red” computer worm infecting Microsoft IIS servers on campus. There is a general problem on the K-20 network. The Networks & Operations staff is working with these folks to help mitigate the problems. CTS is working with campus offices to make sure access is secure.

CSS will provide loaner 15-inch monitors to clients whose monitors have to be returned for repair under warranty.

Unique Microcomputer, one of two vendors CWU has consistently used, has gone out of business. CSS will assume the role and expenses of repairing these computers for clients. The estimated cost of repair parts is $10,932 over the next three years. There are 348 computers with 1 year or less remaining under warranty, 158 with 2 years or less remaining under warranty, and 11 with 3 years or less remaining. Monitors and hard drives are covered by their respective manufacturers' warranties. CSS will bear the cost of shipping and freight that Unique would have covered.
