hmm...that's interesting.  your provost mentioned nothing of a spread between
platforms.  come to think of it...I remember she didn't know much about it
(when, what exactly).  I hope your superiors are well imformed of all this
technology.  I could understand if this news is very recent...

great!  one question.  why such a large po quota (contrasted to www space)?
is this assuming people won't delete any mail off of the server the entire 4
years as a student?

this is a great idea... I just dread the learning curve.  trying to explain the
new Eudora switch is bad enough... it seems simple enough to us, but I don't
know if the typical student is ready for these things...
hopefully it won't be too bad of a switch after the coming print charging thing.
more problems... ;)
 
thanks for the clarification.
