ABSTRACT
This paper reports on the experiences at Union University in using a mini-computer based time-sharing facility versus a loosely-coupled micro-computer based facility. These two facilities are the only computer resources used by two disjoint academic populations. Comparisons are drawn on acquisition costs, staffing, and operating costs. The micro-computer system is an inexpensive, viable alternative.

Computer center consulting on personal computers: A changing role for a large computer center
SIGUCCS '82: Proceedings of the 10th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference on User servicesA large computer center in an academic setting generally supplies much of its computer services in terms of some large timesharing facility. In recent years the availability, power, and performance of minicomputers and microcomputers have made ...
