If all of your colleagues are using Macs and/or MS-DOS machines, then it doesn't matter how "good" the Amiga (or anything else) is in abstract terms. No campus can afford to support all platforms; and most people will opt for those that are already are supported. Of course, if you don't interact with anyone else and use the machine in stand-alone mode .... Charles Faulhaber UC Berkeley
