Plus as an added bonus, WPI actually had an Encore Multimax in the
Campus Computer Center way back when I was an undergrad there and
working in the CCC.
It cost us $250k to buy as I recall, then we sold it for 25k three
years later when it was obsolete and getting termpermental. I helped
move it in and out each time. Whee!
Still gotta listed to all the cast too...
