Arts Block PACR Keyboards

Has anyone else ever noticed how dirty the keyboards in the Arts block PACR are? It gives me shivers to think how long it's been since someone gave them a wipe!

Can't say I've noticed before, but I'm definitely going to now

I heard you win €20 if you can find one with all its keys.

Ya can't even log on to half them anymore, think I saw some of them with XP back on.

I don't use the campus computers anymore (bitch of a Mac Pro in my office, serious win)

Can people post up the issues they've experienced with campus computers? Example: arts block computers, slow.
Once I've some data I'll see what I can do in improving them.

As sudzy said, half of the computers in the arts block don't let you log on. Just comes up with an error window when you put in the student number and password. It only seems to be on the ones with Windows 7 though, because I can log in fine on the computers in the ATC (they run XP). Actually they're okay with logging in in the Callan building foyer too I think (windows 7) so I don't know then.

Edit: There's a Mac in the ATC too actually

/wants MacBook ;__;

Thnk they've been having log on problems with the arts block pcs recently. Some of them if you just restart and try log on again they'll work, others just can't get on at all. They had a notice up sayin they were having issues, so I presume they're trying to get them sorted.

It's been a while since I've been there but I wish someone would just clean that entire area, those shelves under the keyboards can be filthy
