  • Pedit, where you manage your personal contact information, web page and email forwarding for @cs email accounts.
  • Medit, where you can create and maintain @cs mailing lists.
  • GIN, the Gates Information Network, for room reservations.
  • Shell access to department managed systems in the AI/Robotics Lab, Theory Lab, Xenon and the Pups.
