Spake Harry,
Neil:
The last 5 years they've all been IBM Thinkpads. Live in excitement until
June to find out what will specified for new matriculants. Issued?
Furnished with course-rquired software licenses for $2100.
Just drove through Troy, NY, headed from Albany to Vermont. Reviewing the
program at RPI today, I 'd be delighted if my perhaps next (perhaps)
collegian qualified, even if he has no interest in ice hockey.
If Troy, NY were half as entertaining as Burlington,Vt the winters might
not have seemed so cold.
