ABSTRACT
The university president's Computer Advisory Committee begins its meeting with the charge to resolve the bottleneck which is being produced by the rapidly increasing numbers of users of the university's central computers and the very limited number of ports allowing access to the computers. This is drastically increasing computer response times for all users. A fixed amount of money is allocated and the committee is encouraged to think of any workable solution. Within fifty or sixty minutes the discussion arrives at the obvious solution of setting up two large microcomputer laboratories on the two main campuses, one in Fairbanks and one in Anchorage, to take the immediate pressure off the central mainframe. The committee chair calls a coffee break.
