Following the Athena 8.0K patch release in the spring of 1997,
Athena Quickstations began to appear on campus.  Athena
Quickstations are full Athena workstations which are intended
to be used for only short periods of time (10 minutes or fewer).
They are intended for quick tasks such as checking mail,
accessing specific information or submitting print jobs.

As the 10 minute mark approaches, the workstation will send
reminder messages.  When the 10 minute mark has passed, the
workstation will strongly urge you to log out.  You will not be
logged out automatically.  The display will show a large clock
displaying the time logged in (up to 10 minutes and beyond) at all
times when someone is logged into a Quickstation.  If you notice
someone logged into a Quickstation on which the clock has passed
the 10 minute mark, you may ask them to log out.

If you have comments on Quickstations, please send them to
quickcomments@mit.edu (mailto:quickcommments@mit.edu).
