[LUGSB] Using Nautilus on campus

[Aaron Pellman-Isaacs]

Yah.
Just noticed the printing comment btw, anyone know if you can still 
print to the sinc printers using sparky like you used to be able to? I 
haven't tried in quite a while, and I do know that the generic print 
queues on peanuts are permanently paused now in favor of using the 
pharos queuing...
