Speaking as an undergrad at Hopkins, I must say that (at least around here) anyone who isn't smart enough to make a worthwhile contribution to some newsgroup isn't smart enough to use a large SysV Unix system with lots of [sometimes] buggy software. With the large international student population here, many people read their appropriate soc.culture groups. Other people read rec.whatever. Almost everyone reads rec.humor.funny. <Hi Brad!> Even though all Hopkins students are entitled to a Unix account, a very small percentage actually take up the opportunity and *use* it. I imagine the same is true at other schools with a choice of mainframes. [If you forgot about all the class accounts, there would be more people using the VAX 6410 than this 3B4000.] -GAWollman -- "All societies are based on rules to protect pregnant women and children. . . . As racial survival is the only universal morality, no other bases is possible." - Lazarus Long [RAH, _TEFL_] ---------------Hopkins doesn't *want* my opinions------------------------
