Hi,

We have found files that indicate you have been installing the game Quake on 
CSSE lab machines.  The computer regulations at  
http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/organisation/committees/facilities/codeOfPractice.html  
forbid the use of CSSE computers for anything other than CSSE course-related 
work.  

Part of the reason for this is the noisy environment that game players create, 
and we've had complaints from a number of students who find game players 
annoying.

Students found installing games on CSSE computers could lose their access to 
our systems, and other more serious penalties
may also apply. Please remove any games you have installed on our systems, 
and don't install any more of them.


Tony Dale,
Senior Programmer.

I've heard a rumour (my spies at work) that there's a bit of a gaming 
culture forming in the Honours room. In previous years, students in the 
honours room have complained that their work has been affected by others 
playing games. We haven't had any complaints yet this year, but if they 
happen, we'll be forced to act.

Please be considerate... (of both your own academic potential, and the 
impact that your actions might have on others).

Andy
