When my ex-husband taught intro computer science at a major state
university, back in the 70s, a problem arose with over-enrollment relative
to terminals in the computer lab (back when virtually no students had their
own computers). The lab was open 100 hours a week, and there were still
students who couldn't get enough computer time to finish their assignments.
One bright bulb on the faculty suggested keeping the lab open 200 hours a
week.
