See the current quarter's 142 web or 143 web for more information about the courses.

Mary Gates Hall Computer Resource Center (CRC)

The MGH CRC (main floor) is operated by UWired, which sets the hours and overall policies. Normal expected hours are shown here for convenience. See the UWired computing labs site for detailed information, including holiday, finals week, summer, and intersession hours.

Days	Open	Close
Monday - Friday	8:00 a.m.	6:00 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday	closed	closed

There are also computers available in the Odegaard Undergraduate Library until 10:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday.

The CRC contains PCs and some Macintosh computers. Use of the Macintosh computers for 142/143 is discouraged. Currently the PCs are running Windows '98. The C language compiler is Microsoft's Visual C++ (MSVC), version 6.0. There is an 8 cent fee for each page that you have printed. Please see the UWired web site for additional information on lab policies.

Consultants

Consultants will be on duty in the lab frequently during the week. They can help answer programming questions that arise while you are working on homework in the lab. Check the 142 consultant schedule or 143 consultant schedule to see when someone will be on duty. There are also lab assistants on duty to check users in and out, to answer questions about operating the equipment, and to retrieve print-outs.

If you plan to compute at home, you will find it easiest if your system is very similar to the lab set-up. To take the course, you will NOT be required to purchase MSVC.
