Drop-in Computers Stations Rearranged

The Drop-in computer stations for the public and students have been rearranged. The stations are now in numeric order (based on each terminal's network log-in). The cable clutter associated with the last move has also been cleared up. We will continue to experiment with better arrangements of the stations.

The number of Drop-in computers remains the same – constituting 20 of the Library's 71 computers.
