Whoa.  I won't even BEGIN to defend the U of Cowtown (Albertan nickname).
I will state, however, that when NeXTs were starting to get popular around
here (in Edmonton, at least), the U of Alberta was basically the sole
distributor.  This included to the UofC.

Well, that lasted for a few (likely underestimated) months.  After a while, we
told NeXT in Vancouver we didn't want them anymore.  I won't go into details,
but I will say that it wasn't just the PURCHASERS that had problems.

What?!?!  We didn't make it?!?  *DRAT!*

Better to be unmentioned than to ever be mentioned at all, I suppose... :-)

P.S.: I may work for the UofA, but these are *MY OPINIONS*.  I'm not even
  using my UofA account.  Therefore, if any of this bounces back into me, you
  may or may not be told where to bang your bits.  <leer>
