I've just read a poster here in the library this morning stating that the library will have reduced hours of opening; opening either thirty minutes or an hour later, depending on the day. Additionally, we won't be able to use the computers until fifteen minutes after opening time so that the staff can undertake health and safety checks.
I didn't know this, but the hard drives are atomic powered and take a few minutes to reach their optimum operating temperature, and during this period there is a slight risks of a radation leak...also, each mouse has to now be individually anaesthetised due to the threat of bites and any subsequent infections. I've always just snapped the mouse's neck before using the computer, like I imagine most people do.
