Hi, I casually sent this letter to the MIT Computer Connection:
Hi, could you provide wrist rests for all athena machines and for any student wh
o wants one? People aren't typing
correctly in the clusters.
Surprisingly, I received the following response. Trouble is, I don't know
what to tell her...

Hi there -
We'd be honored to provide the clusters with wrist rests. How many - and wheredo I send them?
As far as the students - I'd need to know how many before I committed to them. Sorry - but we - too - have had
recent budget cuts! Let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Is it OK for me to tell her the number of machines (356 based on cview?)
and that she should just go in and deploy them? Is this in accordance
with the rules?
Thanks,
Mike
(BTW my intent was to deter theft of wrist rests by providing each cluster
with a box full of them for students to take, so they don't take the
ones from the machines. Is that OK?)
