#3 Students and the internet in the library

There are probably hundreds of desks for students to use their laptops in the main library and most of the time they are all taken. Yes, some need to use the internet to write an essay or whatever that is they are doing. But for heaven’s sake, most of them are not doing it. So, I’m asking, don’t they have broadband at home?

 

I went there today, because I, for that matter, don’t have internet at home (unless you count the connection you can sometimes get from the neighbours when you’re laptop is placed on the windowsill behind the sink). Having found an empty desk, I put my laptop on it and realised that I’d left the lead at home. Fuck. So, I went back home, got what I needed, came back to the library and it turned out I couldn’t get the internet working.

Now, here’s a curious thing.

It’s been ages since Windows Vista was released, yet the IT ‘services’ still haven’t taken off the note on their website which says not to buy Vista as it’s not supported and it won’t work on the university network. True, soon after I’d got my laptop it wouldn’t work but after some time the problem seemed to have been resolved. There’s been two occasions when I couldn’t connect to the internet; one of them was today.

Why is it so difficult for them fix this?
