  20. Dec used this strategy in order to unseat IBM mainframes with their 
  21. minicomputers by giving incentives to universities. I don't think they 
  22. would have made a dent in the market if they didn't. Thousands of computer 
  23. science students graduate each year. Educational incentives is one way to 
  24. generate a loyal following. Sometimes there is a conflict between long range 
  25. and short range business needs.

  28. Opinions are mine only. No employer would claim them.
