Every computer is outdated the day after you buy it. Heck I am still using a 19 year old computer with Windows 98 for one application which is a 16 bit dos program. I thought students had their own by now. Just need secure WiFi in all the class rooms and housing.
Im talking about the systems that run the university. The WiFi is still pretty bad on campus, but we're running systems from 40 years. Job security if you ask me: "No, sir, we don't need to replace these ancient computers that only I know how to fix."Quote:

We shouldn't bill ourselves as a paragon of cyber-anything when we're still using Dual-ROLM systems and a mainframe from 2000.

Louisiana Tech University uses the SunGard SCT IA Plus 2000 Student Information System (SIS). Installed during AY 1998-1999 on an IBM mainframe platform, it went fully operational during the Fall Quarter 1999 (AY 1999-2000). Only the Plus SIS module is installed and operational.
The BOSS system is embarrassingly slow and decrepit, and has to be taken offline once a day so we can manually print screenshots and store a physical backup.Quote:
Louisiana Tech University maintains a legacy system database of student academic records on the same IBM mainframe platform that date back to the mid 1970’s when records were first computerized.
Old technology is fine as long as it works and looks decent. Ours is neither.
I agree that is embarrassing.
The day advertisements are outlawed on pain of death will be a great day.
Advertising Christmas before Thanksgiving. I probably mention this each year.
It starts before Halloweem now.
Should start right after my birthday on Dec 17th.Quote:

Me too, but more because I never seem to have the proper viewing thing-a-ma-jig.Quote:
