Microcomputers and the university computer center
Richard M. Stillman · 1979
Because of current trends in the pricing of computer components, the makeup of the typical computer system is changing radically. Instead of large, multi-user systems built around a single CPU, there is a trend toward single user, dedicated application, and small timesharing systems. The computer center must take an active role in this transition by recognizing and supporting areas in which microcomputers are being introduced.I would like to acknowledge the assistance of Jane Wolin, Head of Programming of the CCIS, in developing the ideas expressed in this paper.
