Uh, no? Being the Web Technical Administrator, I Administer the Technical 
aspects of the main Webservers (broadly speaking.  I do other cool stuff 
too). I'm not efficient enough to also run labs...

Which labs? Have you tried hassling the Student Helpdesk?

You could always throw a newer PuTTY exe on a USB key. (Apparently now called 
"Thumb Thingy's" officially. ^_^)
