In fact, computers were pretty much invented so that people wouldn't have to do anything. Did you see that Simpsons episode the other week where Homer got to work from home? Well, you get the idea. So to make your life even more easy, (and to slightly change the topic into something of use) here are some things you can do by email ‹ without having to leave your computer!
€Correct non-biographical information from your online listing. Send a note to <email@yale.edu>,but;be prepared to wait since there is currently a big backlog of requests. Things like your address and year must be dealt with via the Registrar, however.
€Ask UNIX, and more specifically, Pantheon, questions. Before you send email, though, you should check out MinervaHelp at
<http://pantheon.cis.yale.edu/~consult>
or;the people who read your mail will consider you a total squid. You can send email to <consult@pantheon>for;this.
€If you're one of those (dwindling number of) people who uses YaleVM, you can send mail to <consult@yalevm>with;your questions. You can also use 'yhelp' on YaleVM.
€If you have a dial-in related question (you know, you have a modem and it doesn't do what you want it to), the Internet Information Center is your place of choice. First check out
or;the IIC people will consider you a total squid. You can send them email at <iic@pantheon>.
€If you have a general suggestion for Academic Computing Services, you can send it to <suggest@yale.edu>.
€And finally, if you're an undergrad and you want to contact your college CAs, send email to <cas-xx@pantheon>,where;xx is your college's two letter abbreviation. If you don't know it, crawl out from your hole, grab a copy of the Herald, and then crawl back in.
