As Apple joyously espouses in their Mac ads, many workplace computers have been supplanted by home computers. And as an example of the school situation, my alma mater (N.C.State) has more and more professors designing course assignments so that they may be done on personal computers rather than archaic and/or overburdened department computers. Two avenues that have opened this are extensive PD/shareware archive and distribution networks on campus and innovative and liberal educational discounts or site licenses for commercial software. Computer rooms full of PCs and Macs make the technology accessable to those without their own computers. -- * Charles Lord ..!decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!cjl Usenet (old) * * Cary, NC cjl@ecsvax.UUCP Usenet (new) * * #include cjl@ecsvax.BITNET Bitnet * * #include cjl@ecsvax.uncecs.edu Internet *
