USC Computer Lab

I’m blogging from the USC computer lab (I think it’s the one located at KOH). They’ve got lots of PowerMac G5’s (the Dell’s seem to be more popular, at least right now). There are lots of computers available. I wonder what is and isn’t allowed here. Games?

The connection speed is simply amazing, far better than what we get in the dorms (although the connections in the dorms are reasonable already):
