I am a Prof of CS. Last year I was writing up a proposal and someone at CBM hung up on me while I was talking to him. There was a conference at Rutgers( NJ) where manufacturers could strut their stuff. Next showed up without even having computers that were ready to ship. Where was CBM ? Yep, you guessed it. I had to spend all day running all sorts of demos on my Amiga. Is that enough faculty support ?? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- hubey@pilot.njin.net | hubey@apollo.montclair.edu | ...!rutgers!njin!hubey -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
