I was only joking, of course. This had me thinking about poster ads which the
University spread around the computer clusters. I quietly protested about
that as I don't believe in academic institutes becoming industrialised and
commercialised. They are being 'fed' with enough money from local (and
particularly international) students. So why the greed?

Best wishes,

Roy
