We have 5 masscomps here at RIT, 3 are faculty only, and the students are
very happy about that. They'd be even happier if all 5 were faculty only,
but that would upset the faculty a great deal. Around here we call them
trashcomps or crashcomps. RTU v3.0 is pretty sad, too. RIT has the only
source license in existance for it, and it's a good thing, cause the way I
hear it, they have to keep cleaning up the bugs in the software. I wrote
my own routine to send stuff to the printer because lpr doesn't work. I
could tell you lots more bugs, but my concious mind can't take it, so my
sub-concious makes me forget them 8-).
