I am here at the McMaster University Library and there are no computers with word processing. I am annoyed to say the least. U of M had many computers in the Library that had word processing. Not only that, right now (Sunday 1:30pm) U of M has six computer rooms open with word processing:
St. John’s College (24hrs but building doors are locked 11pm-7am)
St. Paul’s College (8am-10pm)
University College (24hrs except Fri and Sat night)
8 Dafoe (8am-11pm)
Mackray Hall (8am-11pm) (UNIX lab is 24/7)
Engineering (which is 24/7 expect during Christmas Shutdown)
McMaster University has only 4 computer labs all of which are only open Mon-Fri 8:30am-4:30pm and no word processing in the library.
Frustration has set in!
My other rant is the Ontario powergrid. I have now experienced 11 power outages since I came back 6 weeks ago. The first one being when I landed (the power went out when I was at the luggage area) and the most recent have been 6 this week!
GRRRRR!
Just wanted to add a quick note about the U of M computers this past weekend. I tried to access 3 computer labs this past sunday evening, and all 3 were locked (Dafoe, Drake, & Engineering). U of M administration is a mess!
I stand corrected. I cannot believe that! They are now charging $110 for the service (it was part of tuition before) and the service has decreased! You are right about them being a mess! I write a post that puts U of M in a favourable light and Admin goes and messes it up!
