New Media Lab uses Macs
The Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Calgary today is opening its new, state-of-the-art multimedia laboratory using some of Apple's fastest Intel-based Macs. The new Multimedia Lab -- which is located on the sixth floor of the Art Building -- is equipped with 11 Mac Pro Quad Core systems connected to 23-inch displays, 88-key music keyboards, high resolution scanners, a large format color printer, a portable 8-channel audio system, and numerous software tools that allow artists to create digital media. Serving as a research lab for undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and a secondary teaching space, the new lab also features a full-spectrum lighting environment allowing for round-the-clock use.

That's my alma mater.
Of course, when I went, the media computer was a PDP-8 hooked up to a teletype on which you could play Nim.
