[Bioundgrd] Biology Undergraduate Athena machines

[Janice Chang]

Dear Biology undergraduates:

We are evaluating the athena resources that are available in the 
Biology undergraduate lounge and would appreciate if you have any 
thoughts or the comments on the Athena machines in the lounge.

1)  Do you use the athena machines in the undergraduate lounge, and 
see a decline, increase or consistent level of your use on Athena 
machines in the Biology undergraduate lounge?

2) What technology (other than Athena systems) would be valuable, 
assuming IS&T/Academic Computing were in a position to provide the 
require technology. This could include image capturing devices, large 
displays (37" flat panels), scanners, etc.?

3)  Are there Athena machines 4 or more years old that you would like 
to have upgraded? If so, would you prefer Linux Athena, Unix Athena, 
WinAthena or something entirely different?


Thank you.
Janice
