Some of you will find this amusing, anyway. This is a verbatim quote
from our *current* graduate CS handbook:
The department?s computing facilities include Sun and Silicon Graphics
workstations, SGI Crimson and SPARC servers, and high performance
graphics workstations (SGI Indigo2, Onyx Reality Engine2). The Office
of Information Technology has over 400 workstations for general student
use and several high-end machines including a Silicon Graphics Challenge
XL 20 processor system. UMBC?s Imaging Research Center also provides
high-end graphics support including production quality input/output
devices and production software (Wavefront, Softimage, and Alias).
While these are cool machines, I did see some of them at VCF East this
past weekend. I'm pretty sure the school doesn't have them anymore. I
guess weeding out old info isn't a top priority. :-)
