Wasn't NCSU the school that, at the behest of Microsoft, wanted to require every student to have a Windows laptop? I seem to remember that faculty and students who favored the Mac and UNIX were protesting this. I also recall that some faculty members who were pushing for the Microsoft laptops had posted ads for Microsoft Internet Explorer on their Web sites on University-owned computers, and were part of the same "Microsoft Scholars" program. This was in 1998 or 1999, so I don't know if you were there at the time. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
