>>>Dear Mr. Murphy:

>>>There are five Sun Sparc Classic Workstations (Athena Network) in the
>>>Undergraduate Labs (one in room 4-449 and 4 in room 4-65). None is working
>>>since the new OS has been installed. For example, a common message is that
>>>the system cannot boot. On August 26, the TAs Bootcamp starts here. Data
>>>analysis for many experiments are carried out with applications implemented

>>>
>>>I would appreciate very much if all these stations will be brought to
>>>working conditions as soon as possible.
