As a former student at the University of Toronto (8T2), I have much
admiration for some of the leading technology invented there. However,
the problems of centralized proceessing and overloading due to insufficient
capacity seem to be very much in evidence, still. 

We were the guineau pigs on The new Vax, back then, but the problems 
remain.  I am presently at the University of Waterloo, and as Dave
Martindale said; "the eggs are not all in one basket". The problem
stems from basic administration (!!!). Waterloo is not especially 
well known for novelty, but for doing whats been done before, well.

Even to this day with increasing enrollment and limited budgets Waterloo
'dynamic' (as in real time) administration makes the situation more
than tolerable.

P.S. Co-op and outside funding through contract research is a sample
of good administration. Perhaps U of T should prepare itself for 
some sweeping changes ?

A sincere wish for good education, Ray.
