Hmmm...funny, here at the University of Maryland, College Park, we claim
(note that we also take english here) to have one of the best CS programs
in the country too, and although our most used machine is an 1100/82
(UMD2.ARPA) it is now getting competition from a set of IBM's.  We also
maintain an 1100/71 for (research/other) purposes.  Rumor has it that we are
slated for an 1100/90 too, when Sperry finishes it.

And I thought WE were the only people left with an 1100 under EXEC-8!
