techtrights-sec6Recalling back to the era of Kerberized Telnet on MacOS and Windows,Apr 19 03:39
techtrights-sec6I remember that the University had < 10 % of the public machines on WindozeApr 19 03:39
techtrights-sec6Yet as one of the many people working the help desk and computer labs helpApr 19 03:39
techtrights-sec6it was that solving Windoze-specific problenms took up > 90% of the problemn         Apr 19 03:39
