The first system was a single computer (Nurse), an Intel 386 with 8 MB RAM and 800 GB of disk. A few months later this changed to 2 x 4.6 GB disks. "Mother" replaced this system a year later (Dec 1997). "Enigma" arrived a year after this (October 1998), running FreeBSD. Up to now the systems had been stored in CSD, Henry Grattan Building. A move of the systems took place in September 2000, to the Publications Office in the Hub. A desktop computer donated by CA was used as dax.redbrick for CTYI kids, set up in February 2001. A Sun E450 system (largest donation to a student society in DCU, from Sun Microsystems) arrived in April 2001 and went online as "Prodigy".
