The lab is dedicated to graphics and design. I have a friend who is enrolling in the course this winter. I'll keep the net posted when he tells me what's happening. As to OSU's plans to release their discoveries, I doubt it. As to my plans to scarf them up by hook or by crook, well, let's just see what "developes" ! By the way, I am told that the Chemisty Department at OSU uses a large number of Amigas (best guess so far is for graphical demonstrations and illustrations of molecules...). >This is your chance to speak up and show off - I think it's >great that a large university had the smarts and guts to >invest in such a great box - even a lot of students could >afford to have their own... so, Que Pasa Man? Don't give us too much credit; my 6 years at OSU lead me to believe that the decision to purchase Amigas was either a typo on the part of an ordering clerk or the product of a few faculty members who were willing to ignore OSU policies and buy the right machine. OSU currently has a huge support network for the IBM PC, having chosen that *&^$#^&)^%$ (uninspired) computer as their administrative standard. ---------------------------------clip and save---------------------------------- Bill Thacker cbatt!cbosgd!cbdkc1!serial!wbt DISCLAIMER: Farg 'em if they can't take a joke !
