She has been idle for a long time. No screensaver. All I see is an xterm
and the console window. Maybe you guys need to write her a note???
At the same time, M1-142-22 had a screensaver with no time elapsed saying:
LONG SIMULATION GOING
BE BACK IN A MINUTE

There were no other machines available. Sure, I could have logged kitkat
out or rebooted tsyang's machine, but I thought perhaps a note to them
from you guys might be educational. Maybe they really don't know they
were not supposed to do what they did.
There were other people waiting for a workstation but they didn't attempt
(didn't know, maybe) to reboot or logout the idle workstations.
