Well, Oberlin is hardly the computer science center of the universe.  Maybe
all you guys want is word processing on your computers.   And they tell me
that ProWrite is a decent MacWrite rip-off; I wouldn't care, I don't like
MacWrite.  However, I do like the school deals Apple offers.

(Note implied :-) on my Oberlin comments; one of my sisters went there, so it's
 obviously a top-notch school.  Of course, I went to CMU, which IS the computer
 science center of the world, despite what MIT and Berkeley think).
