Until/unless we say otherwise, you can go ahead and
reformat/reload the disk on any Athena workstation in 38-344 without
asking us in advance. However, please send email whenever you change
the workstations so we know what you're doing.
By contrast, note that some of the semi-private and private
workstations do have various customizations installed. Please
continue to check with ECF before reformatting or reloading these
machines. The same also applies to the printservers in 38-344.
Thanks for checking with us. I hope this clarifies things.

p.s. Note that I will be out the remainder of this week (August 4-7).
If anything comes up, contact shawn@fenchurch and sidlives@fenchurch.
