At University M (University of MS), we were allotted X dollars of CPU
time (printing, etc. was not counted except for CPU usage involved),
and once you used it up all you had to do was go to the Big Cheese at
the Comp. Center and prove to him that you were doing real work and
hadn't frittered away your time playing games and that you were real
sorry for the runaway you left running that bogged the system
and ate up your entire semester alotment in 3 days and....
Invariably you would get more funny $$$.  Or you could do like I did
and get a job programming for the systems department and get unlimited
logins...I'll never forget typing in the command 'grades' out of
curiosity and getting the response "Name of student: ".  Talk about
killing a program FAST -- I could just see the Lyceum Cops coming
after me just for typing in the name!!
