As always, anything Michael said is his opinion and not the opinion of his employer. His opinion is in no way influenced by the fact that with one misstep he'll be kicked out of college and his family forced to live on the street. Texas law being what it is, they will either flee to Mexico or be executed within six months. The truth is, IBM feels that a small computing cluster will provide the best return to entering freshman over the course of their college education. For a reasonable fee, they will receive a contract for emergency on-site, 24 hour support from an IBM tech. Support fee not optional. Support contract void if user has the temerity to customize system without IBM's approval in triplicate. Support fee not refundable. Expect support costs to increase by 75% yearly, unless user agrees to upgrade every two years. As far as I'm concerned, any laptop with only a nib is evil.
