Group Service Assignments (as of 27-Aug-2006)
- People responsible for computers should keep Windows Update and antivirus/antispyware software up to date (especially when new alerts are released), and also call Dell and have the computers fixed if they have problems.
- People responsible for instruments are responsible for the computers in those instruments (AMSs only, windows update and antivirus/antispyware), as well as keeping the instrument running, call service if needed, stocking spare parts, etc. We should try to do "preventive maintenance" if we suspect a problem, rather than "reactive maintenance."
