You do NOT have any permanent hard disk space allotted on these workstations. Local scratch space should be considered volatile.
You are NOT allowed to install your own software on these workstations.
The CD-RW disk: formatted capacity is about 650 MB (in CD-R mode, about 550 MB in CD-RW [DirectCD] mode).
The DVD-RW disk: formatted capacity is about 4.5Gb.
The current systems no longer have Zip drives.
USB memory keys, memory card adapters or external disk drives may be used, provided they do not require custom drivers.
We will not diagnose problems with personal storage devices.The \TEMP directory: this is where you can store stuff, temporarily. Beware that it means exactly that: temporarily. Things left there are not at all safe: If the available space becomes tight the administrators will remove older and larger files to make room. You will not be able to access these files from other machines.
You will have a pre-created subdirectory to store your files.- Your Personal folder:
This is currently drive T:\ Files saved to My Documents and your Desktop will be redirected to the same location. This space is subject to a standard 300MB file quota. You will be warned if you approach your quota limit.
This folder is only accessible to you (AND the administrators). What it means is that other users do not have access to this folder, so things saved there cannot be read by other users.
There is a desktop shortcut provided to drive T:. This drive is common to all the machines in Park Avenue, and it will be set to point to your files when you logon.
There is a desktop shortcut to the local scratch directory.
Beware, again, that even this folder cannot be considered safe since there is no regular backup of files on these machines. So, again, if you want to keep something, store it on your own removable disk.
If you encounter any problems with your use of Park Avenue or Field Research Office computers, send email to . This address is read by the Windows system administrators. Do not send messages to the Econometrics Laboratory (i.e., do not send messages to trouble, manager, consult, or postmaster as you would if you encountered problems with one of the Suns). It delays your message, and takes up the time of the Unix administrators.
