Subject: SIPB Computer Tours and Stories

We've confirmed the SIPB Computer Tours schedule, so here are details and
a reminder invitation to our upcoming events this Wednesday, September 3.
These events come only once a year; you won't want to miss them.

  SIPB Computer Tours
  Leaving Lobby 7 at 6pm
    Come see the giant machine room in W91 and others that house MIT
    services campus-wide, led by the people who run them.  Plus a
    bonus session of computing stories from Jeff Schiller, before we
    head over to hear him in 4-231.

  SIPB Computer Stories
  Room 4-231, 8pm
    Legendary storyteller Jeff Schiller has been running MIT's network
    and security since before you were born.  After Computer Tours,
    we'll hear tales from his adventures here.


In addition, we'd like to make you aware of a standing invitation for
anyone interested in SIPB: any time you're free, just come by the SIPB
office, room W20-557 in the student center, and meet us and hang out.

Unlike groups that do their work at scheduled events, most SIPB work
happens at random times of the week when members happen to be in the
office, so just stopping by is a good way to meet us and get involved.

The office is also an excellent place to spend time and to work,
featuring lots of desk space and nice chairs for working, a soda
fridge, and usually some knowledgeable and friendly upperclassmen to
help with whatever you have questions about.

During term, the office is open most hours of every day.  You can call
ahead at 253-7788 to make sure.

We hope to see you around this coming week!
