Asahi News, not to be confused with the beer of the same name (a single can of which would greatly improve the accuracy of my stories), reports that Tokyo University (where coincidentally much Asahi beer is consumed) is purchasing 1,150 iMacs and servers. Additionally, this obviously erudite institution of higher learning plans (assuming BabelFish can be trusted) to switch from Linux and Windows to OS X-based systems.

The present common machine, being gratuitous, the basic software which is open (OS) is the simple personal computer which designates "Linux" as the base, but the fact that renewal period of 5 years is entered making the most of it changes to Mack;
