HOPEFULLY the most basic computer problem in college Computers 101.

Sometimes the card boxes would get dropped or the cards installed improperly and it would take hours and hours to trouble-shoot the issue. We were hooked up with the people from MIT and Standford as well as the U of Michigan.

My dorm room at the University of Minnesota was directly upstairs from a card reader room that was hooked up to the main computer over at the Electrical Engineering building. It was pretty annoying listening to that chunka-chinka-chunka noise when some kid would decide to run his cards at 1am.
