Ok, labs are in a sorry state but has there been any improvement on how
students spend "faculty allowance" (booze, babes and gadgets)?
Besides, fluid mechanics 20 years ago has not changed much anyway!

U r right. In my days i.e 93 - 97, I remember that my facvulty
(Agriculture) and Technology were the only ones that had computer labs. I
think plus a few smatterings in the Computer Science department. Tech guys
were notorious at time time for bringing their virus laden diskettes to
use the "fast" PCs in the Agric Lab. Dos and Win 3.x was the rule at that
time. As I speak now, almost all faculties have up2 date labs with decent
PCs, networks in place and an internet connection not forgetting the
campus wide fibre (damn!!!). DICTS (the IT support body of Makerere
University) now manages all the firewalls for the various labs and
currently implements them on PCs with flach cards. They have even gone
ahead to customise their own "Linux". This is surely progress IMHO.
Ernest dont u think so ?
