Hi Michelle,
I'm the Technical Assistant for RSI, and yes, we have reserved the cluster
for the whole time of Monday-Thursday. You're welcome to use it during the
night, but you do so at your own peril. Please don't interfere with the
Athena installs on these computers, and yes, you won't find all of your
regular programs.
