Please abide by the following computer use guidelines:
- Your computer account is intended primarily for academic use. Misuse
of your account may result in its being cancelled.
- Account security is important. We have had trouble with ``hackers''
in the past. Change your password (log on and type yppasswd) as
soon as possible after you get it. If you suspect that someone has learned
or could guess your password, change it.
- Please conserve paper by using print preview programs and by reading
email on the computer.
- Try to keep the equipment clean. In particular, keep food, drinks,
and chalk dust away from monitors, mice, and keyboards.
- If you encounter problems with your account or with a specific machine
please send a detailed report of the problem to consult@math.uic.edu,
even if you can work around the problem!
- Do not turn off the power on the computers.
