As a result of the Computer Committee meeting last Thursday, we are
reducing some of our rates.  Effective now, the $1/hr surcharge for
use of the phone lines is being eliminated.  Furthermore, the basic
connect-time rate for "external" users (non-Zoology) is being cut from
$2.50/hr to $1.50/hr.  Other reductions are possible soon.

We are, however, proceeding with something that has been in the offing
for some time:  charging for line-printer output, to recover the costs
we incur in providing it.  The rate has not been set yet but, based on
our paper costs, it will probably be between 1 and 2 cents per page.
(For comparison, the Sanders rate is 8c/page and the rate for the new
laser printer is tentatively 5c/page.)
