Tips for using the PC's in the MPL:

General Guidelines

Never turn the computer named Malvolio off.
When you are done using a computer
You can leave the computer on (you must leave Malvolio on)
Turn off the monitor to conserve energy
You must  save your data and documents in your private directory.  This data is backed-up every 24 hours and is viewable only to you.  Data stored outside of your private directory will be deleted!
If a window pops up on your screen saying "The server will be shutting down in 5 minutes, please save your documents and Logoff", this means save your documents now and logoff now.  Failure to follow directions may result in loss of data.
If all the computers in the MPL lab are being used, go to room 65 and use these computers.
