Something else I just remembered:
Connecting so much equipment in our dorms creates a fire hazard. The
are only two or three outlets (what I've been told) in a room shared by
two or three students. Add to the computer equipment a TV, stereo, DVD
player, alarm clocks, cordless phones, etc., etc., etc. and you have the
makings for newspaper headlines. Hasn't happened yet to my knowledge,
but it could and students don't consider these things.
