We had a free Aptiva with paid-for phone line (they baulked at ISDN) from
Boehringer Ingelheim via St George's Hosp Medical School, with the Boehringer
website as the default home page.
Before anyone gets too paranoid, we also had evidence of the cock-up theory
of life. The machine kept crashing, Boehringer's web devlopment people lost
interest (try their website if you don't believe me -still incomplete after
18/12 last time I could be bothered to look) and the liaison company to run
the project went bust. We now have a working spare PC, used by the medical
students to access the filthiest sites they can find.
Maybe I'm just being perverse, but I find it all quite cheering.
