The computers, not the students, in the classroom are sleeping!


Please wake them gently by wiggling the mouse.  In cooperation with Facilities, ETS is turning the campus GREEN and helping the environment by putting all classroom computers in sleep mode when not in use.  Computers that are abruptly awakened by pushing the power button do not react very well and can become temperamental and require some time before you can speak with them.  Please remember to gently wake them by moving the mouse before you feel you must reboot.

There will be signs posted in all classrooms and at all student workstations reminding everyone that they are to move the mouse FIRST and wait for the computer to wake up before attempting a reboot.  If there are any questions about a classroom computer or if you wish to put your office computer into a sleep mode, please call the ETS HELP desk @ x 4357 option 1.
