At Reading University at the moment some arts students only have access
to some rather ancient vt52-type terminals which look at least 20 years old.

&gt; 
&gt; &gt;As an aside, I appear to be receiving each email twice from mud-dev.
&gt; 
&gt; So do I... but on with the discussion.
&gt; 
&gt; [SNIP]
&gt; &gt;I would say the typical mudder at University these days plays from
&gt; &gt;within a
&gt; &gt;window on a 486 using some form of client.
&gt; 
&gt; This is completely dependant on *which* University you're talking about - I
&gt; worked in the University of Michigan until '96, and when I left they had
&gt; just finished contruction on a four-story Engineering Library/Computing
&gt; center.  The typical computer in a lab anywhere around campus was a
&gt; PowerMac or a Pentium, and a handful of engineering labs stocked with
&gt; Sparc10 workstations.
&gt; 
&gt; That's certainly as above normal as your example was below... My guess as
&gt; to the typical student's available computer right this moment: a low-end
&gt; Pentium, or the equivalent Mac.
