[ubuntu-us-ma] Update: Old Colony Computer Lab

[Drascus]

awesome work Martin. let me know if you need any help setting things up.
As long as I am not working I would be up for helping you run cables or
install systems and do configuration. I am glad the community can help
out in situations like this.
