actually, admin #1 had some valid reasons that would need to be
discussed. admin #2 would have said no anyway. going to lunch
with #1 might have helped (and he may let us do it in the future
from our conversastions), but #2 would still say no, due to
politics at wmu. hell, students are not even allowed web pages
due to politics and policies. (http://yakko.cs.wmich.edu for
info). we do believe this was the correct method, try, then see
what happens.
we shall meet with the dean next week i gather. he shall
probably have a list of complaints that he, the non-computer
user, is supposed to yell at us about. "too much load" we can
handle with simple analogies able being `nice' in a line at the
bank. but, for the "too much bandwidth" argument, every 45
minutes or so, deschall transfer 56bits+more of data. how much
does does it actually send? give me exact numbers. 56bit==7
typed letters on a keyboard, but what about the addition
checksums, etc.
