What the heck is a bus error?

[Lincoln Peters]

I don't have the authority to swap the NIC's on these computers (besides, 
the NIC is built into the motherboard).  I can test them for hardware 
problems, but if I find any, I doubt that anyone will fix them before I 
graduate.  Actually, the way things are going, the current Freshman class 
will probably graduate before they get around to making *anything* work 
here.
