Sterile and deafeningly quiet, the Science Center terminal rooms offer everything from ancient Macs that still require a paper clip to extract your floppy disk, to the Digital Alpha workstations with their gargantuan monitors. A word to the wise: don't check your e-mail on these mothers the night before CS51 assignments are due. Office isn't installed on those bad boys anyway.
