Dear All,

Could I please draw everyones attention to one of
the pages of the department's WWW site.


URL = http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/deptinfo/admissions/undergrad/compfac.html


I quote,

"...Staff and students share the same facilities
and in many cases the machines available to
students are more powerful that[sic] available to
staff!"

"...The basic machines we use here are Sun
Sparcstation 5s, 17" colour screen,
500Mb internal hard disc,
32Mb RAM running Sun SPARC processors
at *** MHz...."


This is a complete fabrication of the truth.


Does this mean that at one time students
did have the same computing facilities as
the staff, or that we are going to receive
the same equipment soon??

Or is there an error on the WWW page?

Dominic
