Yep, that *IS* an impressive track record!  We have a CAD Lab running
the newest version of CadKey Software (With *MANY* bugs! This software
is at once AWESOME and PITIFUL!  More later), but the HARDWARE is
GARBAGE!  I lost 8 hours of cad dawings (Ok, so it would be 2 hours to a
experienced CAD person.. I'm learning! :) because the software didn't
like my 360k 5 1/4" disks.  Out of 20 or so '286 machines, usually 2 are
out of service, maybe more.

What I'm saying (Maybe C= should take note) is that RIT is in DIRE need
of QUALITY <ugh> IBM or <Better> CAD systems. (We have a Professional
CAD lab, which *IS* quality, but many hundreds of students have to train
on JUNK)  If someone could bid right, they could make a great deal with
a school that really needs help. (How can a peice of software have
trouble writing to a disk when the disk is fine 100% and only has 20k
on it??   And WE thought we had bad software.... sigh)
