Stout just started it this year and I really don't know about all of the
other schools in the UW system, but they are firm about having to purchase a
PC. Students that are in the Arts get a Mac instead, but they also get no
choice, even though they already are getting the best laptop for the job.

Laurent,
I will have to check that out when I get back on my Pismo again! Wisconsin
being the socialist state that it is, may have just moved to their own time

For the sheer power, and the best long term investment, the G4/667 is the
