I fully agree with whoever mentioned the value of student computer usage
with respect to word processing.  In grad school I did several term papers
using MIT's CTSS 7094 typeset-runoff.  I was afraid my master's thesis was
too big for the system, so (regretably) did not use it.
At Carnegie, I did my entire PhD thesis on an early Xerox graphic printer
word processing system.
Granted, I'm a CS graduate, but I used word processing just like anyone else.
Shame that WP is considered "office only" or "woman's work".
It was taken for granted that every college freshman needs a typewriter;
but boy, wouldn't I have loved a word processing terminal back then!!!
