Intel's generosity has transformed our computing environment. Information about the campus-wide Technology for Education 2000 project is available here.
	Microsoft Corporation has made all of their software available free of charge for every undergraduate major, graduate major, staff member, faculty member, and instructional or research lab system in the department. Microsoft also provides support for the UW/Microsoft Summer Research Institute in Computer Science, and for staff to assist our efforts to integrate Windows NT into our computing environment.
	Tektronix Corporation has provided state-of-the-art oscilloscopes and logic analyzers used in our instructional and research hardware design laboratories.
	WRQ has made their Reflection Suite for X (X-windows for PC's, allowing easy access to Unix back-ends from Windows desktops) available free of charge for every undergraduate major, graduate major, staff member, faculty member, and instructional or research lab system in the department.
