...about $60 per installation plus a $60 monthly rental fee, have been able to cut copying costs by as much as 50%.

Only the light tapping of fingers on the terminal keys and the hum of a fan can be heard. There are five people still working at midnight, three of them are undergrads. A student sits at the center table screwing up his face and dragging his hand through his hair repeatedly while figuring out a problem in his notebook. A woman jiggles her foot, causing her stool to squeak in rhythm...
