Starting this school year, Ohio University, Athens Ohio (not Ohio State University) has outfitted each freshman dorm room with 1 computer/printer/internet access for every 2 students. Of course the cost is burried somewhere in the tuition, but the computer stays in the room when the student leaves. I believe they are planning to eventually do that to all of the dorms. They all have micro-fridges, also.:)
and IBM made its fortunes by creating a computer system that used punch cards (existing data base from older systems). there were better computer systems out there, but none "easer" to use. engineers (i are one) must realize that 99% of the world wants it easy to use. we must make it that way. no one else can.

what about them Duke Blue Devils in North Carolina? The Research Triagle must be a bad place.
