We here at Dartmouth are ENCOURAGING incoming students to buy MacIntoshes (pick your favorite spelling!), but it is NOT compulsory. As inducements to buy, Dartmouth is offering financial aid assistance, is wiring all dormitories for access to our mainframes, and is gearing up to write interesting software packages for the little beasties. We hope that people will buy the machines because they seem fun or useful, not because somebody forced them to do so. Betsy Hanes Perry decvax!dartvax!betsy -- Betsy Perry decvax!dartvax!betsy
