Most commentators see the invitation of #HampshireCollege in #Amherst #Massachusetts to potential transfer students from #NewCollege #Florida as good in itself & good publicity.

Not all agree:

“Who is Hampshire College?” New College of Florida’s Interim President Richard Corcoran asked .... “I am disappointed by their attempt to get free publicity and insert themselves into a narrative of progress and success in liberal arts education here in Florida.”

@kennwhite @0xabad1dea Seems like something #HampshireCollege should check out. They have a solar farm and they have a livestock farm. They might be on it already.

I used a computer like this to write my thesis at #HampshireCollege in 1982 on the performance of an experimental ##PassiveSolar home I helped build.
Started it by manually entering a 3 byte JMP instruction to an address in the ROM resetting the address bus switches to 0 and depressing the GO switch.
The OS in ROM was probably CPM. It enabled me to use emacs to write/edit and save onto 8” floppies.

Anyone here from #hampshirecollege?
