- Sounds like bad technical support. If MUD is crashing machines left and
- right, it shouldn't be on machines intended primarily for students to do
- work. And on top of that, the bozos who leave it running in the first
- place should have had their accounts revoked. I don't see any real
- problem with games being in a student computer lab, as long as it doesn't
- interfere with the primary use of those machines. And, if students are
- going to abuse the privalege of entertainment, the system administrators
- should either remove the student in question's account or remove the game.
- Out of fairness to all, I say nuke bozos's account.
