Our campus' Info. Services Dept. is firmly entrenched in the MS/lemming/brainwashed approach to software solutions, this in spite of the pro-Mac stance that the Music, Fine Arts, Journalism, etc. Depts. have adopted. Hardly a day goes by when I don't have some sort of spat w/ them, or just sigh and shake my head. What MS did to U of Wisconsis is out and out fascist, and I'm glad they took a stance (of sorts) and didn't pony up the ransom money - I'm under the impression that I.U. (being the first school) was savvy enough (or caught MS off-guard as they were in uncharted waters) to negotiate a lasting contract, as I've not heard of any renewals, and yet the program still stands - thet also made it a point, a very telling point, that Macintosh was and was to be included at all times. Does Pres. Bush endorse this apparent resurgance of MS oligarchy? I doubt he's even aware - ironically, I've seen at least three Apple hard copy advertisements stating that the Mac was both Pres. Clinton's AND Pres. Bush's favorite computer - go figure! Enough! My temperature's rising ;-) Best regards, Dana -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
