This node is shared by the University Computer Center and the
Computer Science department.  Both depts run UNIX(tm) and they
co-exist in relative (though not absolute) harmony.

We exchange news with the Saskatchewan Linear Accelerator (sask!slinac).

When the net map went up on the screen at the winter meeting
in Santa Monica there was a line going off into the wilderness
of the Great White North.  I heard some speculation in nearby
seats that this might be Calgary.  Wrong!  We are easily overlooked...
(One of our two "national" airlines didn't land a plane in this
province between 1957 and 1982) ...but really we have enough
population in this province to make a good size city (if you
count gophers).  We promise to ship 1 metric ton of snow (freeze-dried)
to any site which can prove it has longer winters than us.
