     Terminals Malfunction 
     
    
   
   
    
     By James Connolly 
     
    

    
     If you are one of the many 
     
     UPEI students who use the 
     
     computer from time to time, 
     
     then you are probably one of 
     
     ’ the students who have been 
     
     ‘‘knocked”’ off the system for 
     
     some inexplicable reason. Well 
     
     no longer are you going to be 
     
     kicked off the system without 
     
     warning for no reason. We 
     
     have learned why this problem 
     
     can occur randomly. 
     
    

    
     Talking with the personnel 
     
     from the computer center, we 
     
     discovered that a junction be- 
     
     tween the terminal and the 
     
     actual computer, known as 
     
     a port, was not working pro- 
     
     perly. Although this is just one 
     
     of many ports available, it 
     
     seems that this particular port 
     
     has a nasty habit of inter- 
     
     fering with the smooth opera- 
     
     tion of the other ports. Ah, 
     
     you say, let’s fix the port. 
     
     That’s exactly what the com- 
     
     puter center is doing. There is 
     
     still one video terminal left in 
     
     the Robertson Library room 
     
     that doesn’t work for a dif- 
     
     ferent reason — it’s broken. 
     
     With all things taken into ac- 
     
     count, by the time you read 
     
    
   
   
    
     this, the problems should have 
     
     been corrected. 
     
    

    
     In fact, in light of the com- 
     
     puter center’s complete move 
     
    
   
   
    
     to its new location in the Vet . 
     
    
   
   
    
     College, we’re very fortunate 
     
     to only have intermittent line 
     
     problems. If something major 
     
     went wrong during the move, 
     
    
   
   
    
     we probably couldn’t even log 
     
     in to the computer, let alone 
     
     be logged out randomly. The 
     
    
   
   
    
     point is this: the computer 
     
     lines weren’t working 100 per- 
     
     cent, but they should be work- 
     
     ing fine now. If you have any 
     
    
   
   
    
     problems with the computer, 
     
     mail a message to account 
     
     VESSEY and a copy to 
     
     SYSTEM. You’ll find that it’s 
     
     better to mention a slight pro- 
     
    
   
   
    
     blem early, than a major one 
     
    
   
   
    
     ’ later on.
