Sounds like Japanese Universities are incredibly enlightened
places :-)

My university here in the UK specifies PC & the evil OS as the
required platform for their courses, and I have heard that
Universities in Australia are now offering Visual Basic and ActiveX
subjects :-(

I am not a fan of Apple or their operating system, but the hardware
is nicely made, and their user interface brilliantly designed for
people who just want a computer as a work tool.

The though of Universities basing courses on Plan 9, and supporting
non-Intel hardware, makes me wish I spoke Japanese...
