One of my colleagues was "caught" soldering
a repair in a college computer
lab (that was closed at the time)! That was one of four offenses for
which they tried to fire him. The others included telling an "instructor"
that he was NOT available to come help her and to learn how to do her own
"reset" when the computer was "locked", refusing to change the grade
to passing for a student whose program crashed instead of a clean exit to
the OS, and removing discarded computers from the dumpster.
While he was banned from campus, they removed and destroyed everything in
his office, which included a SOL, some Northstars, 6? bookcases of PC
Tech Journal, Dr Dobbs, IBM Technical References for all models, etc.
(Yes, he DID have the 8514 and EGA trch refs)
His office was densely packed, with mostly classic microcomputers.
I thought the
Nazis had been defeated 67 years ago? Did they just escape
to your college? Or are your administrators ex-Stasi people?
That is just plain evil and vindictive. They should be taken out and
shot in front of all the students.
