The following news brief by Steven Brier appeared in the New York Times (Thursday, Late Edition):

"The Apple iMac, to be released August 15, got a vote of approval from Dartmouth College, that placed the computer on its recommended list for incoming students. Dartmouth started recommending that new students have a computer in 1984, and made it a requirement in the fall of 1991. The College was primarily a Macintosh environment, with about 9,000 of the more than 10,000 users already on Macs."
