Summary: What we do here at Tech



At Georgia Tech, there are a number of computer systems that are
used in the various classes and educational system, from the
Pyramid I'm sending this from to several 3b20's, a load of 3b2's,
and a coupla IBM 43XX series machines. The interesting thing, is that
we also have four CDC Cyber series computers (a 990, two 855's, and
an 835 I believe). One of the 855 is dedicated (or will soon be) to
student use. Every student at Tech has an account, and the professors
are beginning to see the advantage in this. The mail system is being
used extensively for people to keep in touch with each other, to
receive assignments, and turn-in homework. There are also some
information services that allow people to keep up with everything
from the upcoming exam schedule to the basketball schedule (a hot topic
these days). This quarter the registrar is experimenting with a new
on-line registration system to alleviate the huge lines and wait time
previously encountered in the old opscan sheet method.
