from Ingres running on a Mini-Vax to a 'modern' Sybsase 4 system
running on
a HP/Apollo minicomputer.
Sad. no media,journalism,art,music departments? How mundane !
I work at the College of Pharmacy at the University of Arizona. Those
others are in the College of Arts and Sciences (a new college that was
just created by jamming together the College of Liberal Arts and the
College of Sciences as a money-saving move ).
They do have Macs, but the University has had it's state funding cut
by 40% per student in the last ten years; and while we get to charge a
special tuition, as a 'professional' graduate college, plus our
research dollars, music is largely dependent on state funding. A lot
of 'ownership' in those colleges, as in 'yer own yer ownership'.
