The administration of any school unfortunately doesn't pay too much attention to whether a computer will fit a student budget, or whether it can save the university hundreds of thousands. If they did, universities might start buying Nintendos (after all, they ARE becoming found in a large amount of college dorm rooms). If such faculty support exists, then CBM feels it has a power base from which to go to the administration and have "local" supporters of their system(s).
