Some ancient computers (but still usable) 1448 Unix and Solaris machines 2440 Just like 1440 but used for DSP labs. Is open whenever labs are not in progress You can print in all of these labs. Klaus 1446 and 1448 have color printers (accessible only if you are taking certain classes). Hint: To get into the Klaus labs after hours, swipe your buzz card, and push in THEN pull.
