You aren't at Downing. Apparently a fridge caused a fire in someone's room at Emma last year? Anyway, that's the excuse college are making!

I don't think it was a fridge that was the soruce of the fire (Emma provides mini-fridges in almost all rooms...which is awesome!). Apparently it was a fusebox or something under the sink that caught fire and started that whole staircase a-blazing. I think that's what I heard and seemed to be the most believable.

A very good reason why you should backup your files on pwf. The university saves a backup of your pwf directories everyday. So there. Save your files on pwf, you'll have more backups than you'll ever need.

You don't email. You dump them into your pwf space straight away. Oh well, guess there is no point explaining. You dump them.

Well... I don't know about photoshop files. But Games are fairly big too. I used about 200 mb without even what for.

Well yeah. except they aren't your conventional pc games. Emulators. Without the emulator, the it guys can't make sense of those. Well... most of them probably geeky enough to know what they are just looking at the name.

Patch: pwf = public workstation facility.

I have about 60 arcade games for my emulators. Only a tiny portion of what Mame supports these days. I'm not a keen gamer though. I don't even have a graphics card that run Lego Starwars.
