You want a Dartmouth student to answer this?  You must be kidding.
I am it.  As far as I know I am the only person at Dartmouth (I am an employee)
that knows what a 1040st is.  In fact the bookstore (remember it?) used to
carry Atari hardware and now they bairly have any software.  There are two
shelves (sparse) for atari stuff (st and the 800) and 3 shelves for C64 stuff.

I am not really picking on you Kevin... I am just frustrated here.  I feel like
an island.  I don't even know where to go to see a dealer.

And Kevin, if you come up for a reunion I can provide you internet access and
maybe a place to crash.

P.S.  To answer your question:
Yes, something like 97% of the students have macs.  In fact, when I got here
I was told that because of the public clusters and machines in faculty offices
there are more macs at dartmouth than students.  Something like 10% of the 
students buy two macs by the time they graduate. (they can sell the old one
after 2 years).
