Overview:

During the early 1990s, the administrative desktops at the University of Wisconsin were mostly PC-based systems. A few years later, PeopleSoft software was adopted as an alternative to the university's legacy student records system. Since the PeopleSoft application lacked support for the Mac OS at the time, students who owned a Mac were unable to access their financial data and academic records easily. In response, UW's administration installed terminals in both of the university's student union buildings that allowed students to see Mac-based "screen scrapes" of the PeopleSoft student record application. But that didn't help UW staff members who felt more comfortable on the Mac platform.
