Does anyone here remember what happened at Drexel University when they
REQUIRED their incoming class to buy a Macintosh? 

The idea was that everyone would hand in wordprocessing documents
on floppy disks instead of papers. You can imagine what happened.
At that time most of the incoming students had never seen a home
computer, or if they did, used it for games.
