Work at GVSU's TelCom Department.
This is the telephone "switch room" in Manitou Hall. Those 7' tall boxes
in the background are called "stitches". There are computer hubs, racks,
file servers in this room, too. Banks of CD ROM players are visible here.
But the room is mainly filled with telephone equipment. It is hard to tell
the difference between telephone and computer hardware by looking - they
are basically the same thing.
I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work in the TelCom
department. Besides being an interesting and enjoyable pass-time, it was an
education. What's more, I was paid for the experience! It's hard to beat a
deal like that.
