Places You Should Know About:

• Main Terminal Room in the basement of the MCS building: This room contains a large number of workstations from which you can log in to your CSA account. You will need to do this to read your CSA email, and to do the assignments for the Unix and internet parts of the course. This room is open 24 hours a day.

• Consulting Services Help Desk at the far end of the main terminal room (on the left as you start down the hallway): This is the place to go only with questions concerning the ACS computers and general Unix. They do not answer questions about the Macintoshes, the CSA computer, your homework, or HTML. (For those questions, you must ask your teacher, your class teaching fellow, or the teaching fellow on duty in the CS lab.) Hours of operation for the Consulting Services Help Desk are posted on the door.

• The CS Mac Lab in MCS B28, on the right side down the hallway off the main terminal room: This lab has Macintosh computers, printers, and a TA (Terminal Assistant) who can answer questions about the Mac assignments. Hours of operation are posted on the door.

• The CS Terminal Room in MCS B24 adjacent to the Mac Lab: You will register for your computer account here, and you can also use the workstations in this room to read your CSA email and to do assignments for the UNIX and internet parts of the course. There is a TA in this room as well who can answer your questions. Hours of operation are posted on the door.

• The PC Support Center in MCS B19: This is where you should go with any questions or problems concerning a personal computer---either Macintosh or PC. In particular, you can find out how to get a PC ``talking to'' the BU computers via modem. Hours of operation are posted on the door.
