Time will tell, and actually I will be happy if I am wrong;
I have seen students suffer from buggish computer systems.
I'm fascinated that many other universities are making the
McIntosh gamble; I predict trouble for them too.

The IBM PC would be preferable because it is predictable, and people
can easily find out how to make it do what they want.  The point is --
I know some of the Dartmouth students will be computer jocks, happily
shaking down their new McIntoshes.  As for the rest, in between
attending classes and doing work to pay their tuition, what does
Dartmouth want them to do: Struggle with an undependable new
computer or study and learn?
