announcement :: from SRC 6.5.2009

1. ECA Computer
I regret to inform you that the ECA computer in the student lounge has been abused by students.
I would like to remind everyone that the ECA Computer is for ECA purposes only.
Also, on May 5th the computer was not switched off and thus was running overnight.
This is detrimental to the CPU.
The computer will soon be password locked and students will need to get the council members to open it as the computers are the under the charge of SSD and thus SRC needs to keep an account of the usage.
Your cooperation in this matter is much appreciated.
