Some U towns aren't as bad as others - I live in Ann Arbor, and techie jobs are EVERYWHERE. The pay is comparable, especially for people with experience, as the alternative is a student. A second upside is that if you can finagle a University account here in A-squared, you've got unmonitored email - guarenteed. UoM is HUGE on user privacy, and goes to great lengths to allow its users to do whatever they like. Downside... its damn expensive. C'est la vie.

*grins* Sys-admins should be forced to go through said software and install it. Those who don't should be fed to the freshmen.
As to individuals - most use what the U 'recommends'. If the sysadmin is clever, anon ftp can be preserved sans issue.
