About Last week lab

Come to the labs prepared ! When you arrive in the lab, you are expected

And ask questions during the lecture if you think you will not even know how to start the lab.

During the lab ...

Do not ask your tutor to fix your issue : ask him to help you to learn how to fix your issue by yourself.

A Matrix look and feel : green text on black background...

Where does that come from ?
Monochrome Display : green, orange, and sometime white on black background ...

The defaut configuration on first web browsers was black text on light grey background
