And universities are not based in cities ? Weird kind of philosophy.

Anyway, I think I would take a bike, and bike to ASML. Agreed, that is more than twice as far (30min instead 20) than to the university, but still.

I also don't understand why you think that Universities strictly limit themselves to pre 1985 technology.

I think overall, the bulk of Dos usage was on 32-bit capable hardware.
