That is amusing, similar experience at my university in Australia, the systems got busy when it was time to submit assignments, but the one Alpha server for some reason was always quiet. Something about it scared people off?
- radomir_cernoch 3y agoCzech Republic, same era, but a home grown registration system (never used anywhere outside the country). The experience was exactly the same. :-D The web interface was something new and fancy at that time, but servers couldn't handle the load. Those who didn't fear Telnet got a snappy interface and could register for classes that were in high demand.
- eesmith 3y agoHeh-he. In the olden days of 1990, our school's computer-based registration system used DTMF/'Touch-Tone'. When the new registration season started, lots of people learned to love their redial button. So many people would be trying to call that the local phone system around the school lost the dial tone, though not service.
