The NMU Email Thing
Northern Michigan University has two email systems. I did not know this before. I have gotten many emails complaining about email.
One of the email systems is the good system, but it only works sometimes. The other one works all the time, but it is stupid. It doesn’t let you see what the other person wrote while you reply, and it says you log on too many times and kicks you off.
Sometimes the computer will lose your emails, and you won’t know if anyone has sent you email or not. Other times, no email programs will work (not even the stupid one), and you will sit there for half an hour trying to log on.
I am glad I know this, because now if I ever go to Northern for some reason and get an email address, I will know ahead of time all the problems I might have. Then I won’t freak out and think I broke something.
The NMU web site system doesn’t work too well either. I don’t know what’s wrong with that. I don’t think I want to know.
