Last month, the Computing Center set up 20 new X Windows terminals for use by the campus community. These terminals are located on the ground level of Grayson Hall, in the same area as the CC-Grayson computer lab, Computing Center Documents Room, and Microcomputer Services.

The X terminals provide a graphical user interface to Darkwing, Gladstone, and a number of other campus hosts. You can use them to read your email, surf the web, and use other network features.

Available software includes Pine, Netscape, StarOffice (a Microsoft Office-compatible suite, with word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation applications), and a host of otherutilities too numerous to mention. You can use Pine to read your email, or you can read it via Netscape, using one of the web-based email systems at http://email.uoregon.edu

The X terminals are situated close to large windows to take advantage of pleasant natural lighting, and there's a cafe nearby for that early morning pick-me-up. Come read your email, sip a steaming cup of your favorite beverage, and enjoy the new X terminals in Grayson Hall!

Try out the new X terminals on the ground floor of Grayson Hall.
