	Yes, Chris was misquoted, he says. Where the article says 
'UWA', it means 'UWA Computer Science Department Labs'. Those 
familiar with some of the dubious decisions made by Chris/CS Dept in 
the past will not be terribly surprised at any decision they make.
	When they say that they chose to use machines other than Macs 
for TCO reasons, remember this is the same committee who thought that 
dual booting their labs in Windows and Linux would not significantly 
increase support costs. So it is possible they might not recognise 
TCO issues even when they are biting them on the arse.
	Cheers
		David (who, FWIW, thinks that Macs with free Project 
Builder/Interface Builder etc AND a free CodeWarrior licence sounds 
pretty sweet as a CS teaching lab, but also thinks that a Linux lab 
instead is not necessarily a bad choice, but is not newsworthy)
