As a note to MIT msug'ers who are students living in the networked
Dorms and ILGs, remember that we do provide 30 keyserved licenses
of the Mac version of MATLAB. This is not to say that you shouldn't
get your own copy; I just want to be sure that students are aware
of all the resources available to them. These licenses are *not*
available for use outside of the Dorms and ILGs. We don't provide
any toolboxes, so if you have limited funds and live in a Dorm or
ILG, you may want to focus on purchasing those instead of the
application itself.
Before anybody asks "what about Windows?", we do intend to eventually
provide a number of copies of the Windows version of Matlab to
the Dorms and ILGs, but we won't be able to do that until the Windows
version of KeyServer works properly.
